Links to tickets' comments are incorrectly escaped

[dserodio@…]

I want to link to a ticket's comment from outside of this ticket, ie, another ticket, a wiki page or a commit message.

Take ticket:3945#comment:2 for example. The "hash" and the "colon" are HTML-escaped, so even thou the correct link is displayed (albeit in the "broken link" color: ticket:3945#comment:2), the link itself does not work (goes to ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3945%23comment%3A2)

Yeah, and that's because what you wrote is not the currently supported syntax…

I agree that what you wrote would be an intuitive syntax and we should support it I think, see comment:ticket:2168:6. Btw, that previous link is written using the only supported syntax by Trac 0.10, and I know that it's not an intuitive one ;).

0.11 already supports the following improved syntax, comment:6:ticket:2168, which is a bit better, first which comment, then the context if needed (and same thing for the attachment: syntax: first what is attached, then the context if needed).

I catch myself from time to time using this syntax as well. I'm also voting +1 for the more intuitive syntax ticket:42#comment:2 (above all this would also be consistent with the corresponding permalink url).

Replying to cboos:

0.11 already supports the following improved syntax, comment:6:ticket:2168, which is a bit better

Thanks, Christian. I wasn't aware of this syntax yet. :-)

This syntax is now supported (r4364).
