well - ive been spending most of my time making mistakes over at stwog directly... so this site is neglected - but i thought i would go ahead and mention something that i noticed and discovered some subtleties about...

the subject is Modules... the item i noticed is Categories...  the subtlety is to use only the opening pre-tag...

ok, if we go HERE we notice that lua-modules still get parsed for wikitext... thus, when i semi-accidentally put in a line up at the top of the module mentioning a category - that line actually FORCED the whole file to become part of that category...  see: HERE for instance...

however, if we look HERE we see that by using a pre-tag it skipped the problem... fine...  however, why was there not a closing pre-tag at the bottom of the file ????

tadah - because of the 'require-module' cases... if we require a module, then it get included into the current module...  however, if there is a closing-pre-tag it will allow the rest of the ENclosing-module to be vulnerable to the category-bug (feature)...  thus, we just do not close the tag and we let the parser close tags when it finishes with the complete file/document...
