in Flow when you add <br> and save a post it is replaced with <br> it renders fine initially but if edited and saved again, will then render as <br> as plain text.
it actually seems like other html tags do this too like <small></small>

Additional comment from Jay8g: "In the page header, some symbols are escaped when you edit the header. It saves normally the first time, but further edits break it." I recall a similar "2nd edit" bug from many months ago, but can't find it.

Your initial title edit works, after you save you see exactly what you typed with no parsing on page, watchlist, history, etc. But a) the title [Preview] parses some HTML, you get a line break in place of <br> and see italics in place of <em>. b) As reported in comment #3, if you edit the title, HTML entities like < and > are incorrectly transformed into < and >.

Editing in JavaScript is fixed, but entities are still double-escaped in no-JS (bug 66227) and in placeholder text for a comment on a topic (bug 66547).
