…element render-property-descriptions.js emits a single-paragraph property description as bare inline HTML with no <p> wrapper -- deliberately, "what a tooltip wants" -- and only wraps richer content (multiple paragraphs, lists, admonitions) in real block markup. truncateDescriptionHtml's "truncate if more than one child" check only ever counts container.children, which is elements only, never text nodes. A single paragraph containing several inline elements (a <code> span, a link, another <code> span) has more than one "child" despite being one block of prose, so it got truncated to blocks[0], silently dropping every text node around it. Confirmed live on docs.redpanda.com: tombstone_retention_ms's tooltip showed only "cloud_storage_enabled" (the first of three <code> spans in its one real paragraph), and kafka_max_message_size_upper_limit_bytes's tooltip showed only a bare link reading "max.message.bytes" (the first inline element in its one real paragraph). Now only truncate when the top level actually contains real block structure (p, div, ul, ol, dl, table, blockquote, pre) to truncate. Added a regression test that runs the real extracted function in a real browser page against the two live descriptions above, plus a genuine multi-paragraph case to confirm truncation still applies where it's supposed to.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthrough
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The truncation fix can still drop inline content when a tooltip description combines one block element with additional text, leaving some users with incomplete tooltip details.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Count top-level block elements before truncation.
A fragment such as <p>Summary.</p><code>suffix</code> has one block element. This condition sets hasBlockStructure and sees two element children, then drops the inline suffix. Count recognized block elements and truncate only when that count is greater than one.
Proposed fix
- var hasBlockStructure = false
+ var firstBlock
+ var blockCount = 0
for (var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i++) {
if (BLOCK_TAGS[blocks[i].tagName]) {
- hasBlockStructure = true
- break
+ if (!firstBlock) firstBlock = blocks[i]
+ blockCount++
}
}
- if (!hasBlockStructure || blocks.length <= 1) return html
- return blocks[0].outerHTML + '<p>&`#8230`;</p>'
+ if (blockCount <= 1) return html
+ return firstBlock.outerHTML + '<p>&`#8230`;</p>'🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Live on docs.redpanda.com right now: hover
tombstone_retention_ms(referenced from topic-properties#delete-retention-ms) and the tooltip body shows onlycloud_storage_enabled-- unrelated to tombstone retention. Same bug onkafka_max_message_size_upper_limit_bytes(referenced from topic-properties#max-message-bytes): the tooltip shows only a bare link reading "max.message.bytes".Root cause
render-property-descriptions.js(docs-extensions-and-macros) emits a single-paragraph description as bare inline HTML with no<p>wrapper -- deliberately, per its own comment: "what a tooltip wants". Anything richer (multiple paragraphs, a list, an admonition) keeps real block markup.truncateDescriptionHtmlin19-property-tooltips.jstruncates whenevercontainer.children.length > 1, on the assumption that multiple children means multiple paragraphs. But.childrenonly counts elements, never text nodes. A single paragraph containing several inline elements (a<code>span, a link, another<code>span) has more than one "child" despite being one block of prose -- so it got truncated toblocks[0], silently dropping every text node around it.tombstone_retention_ms's real description:The retention time for tombstone records... cannot be enabled at the same time as any of <code>cloud_storage_enabled</code>, <code>cloud_storage_enable_remote_read</code>, or <code>cloud_storage_enable_remote_write</code>...→ truncated to just<code>cloud_storage_enabled</code>.kafka_max_message_size_upper_limit_bytes's real description:The maximum value you can set for the <a>...<code>max.message.bytes</code></a> topic property...→ truncated to just the link.Fix
Only truncate when the top level actually contains real block structure (
