Summary: diff loses user identifier

Initial Comment:
With current CVS version, diff removes the user symbols (those that would be marked as identifiers) in the display.

This is caused by a too specific extraction pattern failing in sub markupfile (file Markup.pm) after changes in idref: an "example" identifier link is generated, then the link skeleton around this identifier is put aside for further application on "real" identifiers. Unhappily, the extraction is based on the supposed structure of idref instead of matching only the identifier.

This regression precludes issuing a new release.

Message:
Getting a reliable state transition between invocation of LXR introduced
modification in the structure of the URL. Moreover, using <FORM>s to
generate the URL undefines the order of the arguments in the ?-query
string. Therefore any test on the URL is bound to fail if it is based on an
expected ordered sequence of the arguments.

Fix: use a generic extraction pattern in sub markupfile where a very
specific identifier is submitted to sub idref. The identifier is so
specific it is not expected to happen in any compliant <A> tag. For that,
unfrequent punctuation characters are used.
