#135 plugin arguments containing ''

[Michael van Dam]

I recently noticed that the BackLinks feature was no
longer working. The text that is displayed is:

There are no backlinks for </em>.

The reason seems to be is that the BackLinks page
calls the Backlinks plugin like so:

<?plugin BackLinks exclude||='' include_self||=1
noheader||=0 page||='' info||='' ?>

It seems like the '' (two single-quotes) is first
transformed to italic (<em> </em>), corrupting the
plugin arguments before they are parsed.

Also, a question: does anybody know what is the ||
(double-bar) for in the above argument list?

Ooops, nevermind about the question at bottom. Found
the answer in the source code.

This doesn't seem to be a problem currently. At least I
can't reproduce it.

The arg||=value syntax sets default values for the plugin args.
(The arg can be overriden by HTTP query args to the page.)
(If you use just arg=value, then query args are ignored.)
