[Python-markdown-discuss] URLs failing to match Wayback Archive URLs

[Alan H. <co...@al...>]

I noticed today that Python-Markdown doesn’t transform angle-bracket syntax links when they link to pages on the Wayback machine (probably because they have a URL within a URL). 

I consider this a bug, as there is no problem with such a hyperlink in practice.

In fact, my email client just highlighted the above line as a link; clicking it works perfectly.

This appears to be working fine for me. Which version are you using?
Do you perhaps have safe_mode enabled?

    >>> markdown.markdown('<http://web.archive.org/web/20100304221756/h
    ttp://www.yahoo.com/>')
    u'<p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100304221756/http://www.yah
    oo.com/">http://web.archive.org/web/20100304221756/http://www.yahoo.c
    om/</a></p>'

My apologies. The error seems to be arising because the sanitizer I’m using is stripping quotes, which would be perfectly valid, except for that then jQuery mis-parses the output. More info here: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9530
