This is a constructed post where the whole formatting breaks down (without folding):

This sounds like this bug: https://meta.discourse.org/t/bug-when-putting-code-between-two-fenced-code-blocks/38626

In general, forum-specific bugs like this are best tested and then reported on https://meta.discourse.org since there is generally nothing I can do to resolve them except upgrade to a future fixed version.

Tom, thanks for sharing this issue. Unfortunately it is not something we can address since it is an issue with the Discourse forum software.

If you are interested in pursuing this, you can have more impact and get a better response in the Discourse forum. You might start with this topic, where other users have reported other issues with the Details HTML tag:

When I have some time, I'll do some testing to see if I can gain any insight into this issue.
