Description

A leading colon breaks some (maybe all) wiki syntax.

Some Tests:

Test:[[BR]] There should be a line break

Change:[10] There should be a link to changeset [10]

Other test:'''bold text''' is not bold

Output:

Test:
There should be a line break

Change:[10] There should be a link to [10]

Other test:bold text is not bold

tested using trunk r2385, python 2.3.5, mod_python

Use "!" before a TracLinks for escaping the link (second version, small fix)

Take two, adding as a special case link:[[BR]] to translate to link:<br /> without the need of "!"

Well, this is the syntax for TracLinks. With the current trunk, the example you gave don't make sense as links, but with InterTrac / InterWiki, they will:

  • with InterTrac, what comes after the ":" is meant to be a shorthand to some object in the system. So Change:[10] would be interpreted as changeset 10 in the project named Change.
  • with InterWiki, what comes after the ":" is simply appended to the URL corresponding to the InterWiki prefix. It's even possible to have multiple colon-separated arguments and have them replaced in arbitrary position in the URL (see #1414). So Test:[[BR]] could be a valid InterWiki link.
  • lastly, test:'''...''' is interpreted as a link to test:'' followed by '...''', because single quotes (or double quotes) are use to quote target with embedded spaces.

That being said, there should be an easy way to escape those constructs.

I would propose to use the "!" prefix before what would otherwise look like a link prefix:

!Test:[[BR]] There should be a line break

!Change:[10] There should be a link to changeset [10]

!Other test:'''bold text''' is not bold

The attachment:escape_shref.patch implements the previous idea, and also enables the escaping of TracLinks with title, e.g.:

![Test:[[BR]] There should be a line break]

![Change:[10] There should be a link to changeset [10]]

Other [test:'''bold text''' is not bold]

Careful readers might have caught the two errors in my examples above… Well, I got the unit-tests right, at least :)
