Description (last modified by Christian Boos)

I have found the following Wiki rendering issue. Seems like if a word has a colon at the end followed by quote mark then the style marks are not interpreted correctly.

Probably best by example:

'''phrase word testing''' other things.

'''phrase word: testing''' other things.

'''phrase 'word' testing''' other things.

'''phrase 'word:' testing''' other things. (Fault)

'''phrase 'word:two' testing''' other things.

'''phrase 'word two:' testing''' other things. (Fault)

''phrase 'word:' testing'' other things. (Fault)

which renders as:

phrase word testing other things.

phrase word: testing other things.

phrase 'word' testing other things.

phrase 'word:' testing' other things. (Fault)

phrase 'word:two' testing other things.

phrase 'word two:' testing' other things. (Fault)

phrase 'word:' testing'' other things. (Fault)

This is just frustrating, not a big usability issue.

I hope this is not already known - I did search and have not found a match. I also hope this is not a valid feature I haven't found yet.

This behavior is explained by the wiki:'<anything but single quote>' TracLink syntax.

There might be way to be smarter about this and make your example work, but, as you said, not a big usability issue.
