Re: [Phpwiki-talk] weird linking bug

Yes.  (And I just fixed it.)  (It's only an issue in the CVS code:
this should be happening in 1.3.3 or earlier releases...)

The patch is:
http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpwiki/phpwiki/lib/InlineParser.php.diff?r1=1.16&r2=1.17


The cause of the trouble was:

A few weeks ago, I got rid of the old markup engine --- instead
old markup is run through a filter to convert it to new markup,
which is fed to the new-markup engine.   As part of the conversion,
'~' is (correctly) converted to '~~'.  (In the new markup '~' is a
magic escape character which causes the following character to
be treated literally, no matter what context.)

The new markup code was not properly de-escaping the magic ~ escapes
within links...  that's now fixed.

NOTICE: This is going to break any existing new markup pages
with ~'s in links.


Thanks for the report!
