inline_script output is lowercase

[agentcooper]

This is a bug report.

ES5 or ES6+ input?

ES6.

Uglify version (uglifyjs -V)

uglify-es 3.3.9

Command:

~ $ uglifyjs test.js

JavaScript input

const s = '<Script></Script>';

JavaScript output or error produced

const s="<Script><\/script>";

Second script is in lower case. This is a problem for the code dealing with XML.

The output is correct if inline_script option is disabled:

~ $ uglifyjs test.js -b inline_script=false
const s = "<Script></Script>";

Reproducible in https://skalman.github.io/UglifyJS-online/.

HTML is case-insensitive, so this isn't a bug per se.

If you want to improve this for your XML use case, submit a Pull Request against master.

This is not ES6 specific, and I do think that it's a bug:

> echo 'console.log("</SCRIPT>")' | node
</SCRIPT>

> echo 'console.log("</SCRIPT>")' | ./bin/uglifyjs | node
</script>

@Skalman eww that's not great, especially since this questionable option is on by default.

[Skalman]

questionable option

I think it's completely reasonable, since it allows you to insert any script into a <script> tag.

Thanks for fixing the bug!
