I conditionally object to that last one _IF_ It incorporates banning of this structure: L ASDF |URL Presently that format is quite useful when either URL or link text is very large, and avoids tripping some line-length metrics that can't otherwise easily be satisfied in a non-global manner. And it presently parses correctly and converts correctly. And it becomes more relevant somewhat when you have very large texts or very large link targets. Presently, Parses correctly. Likewise: Ltext here |URL Here Is also presently valid and has the desired product. -- Kent *KENTNL* - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL

Done by closing this issue. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=93491 However, ticket 95710 offers up this example: LDEMO with NL| /DEMO and trailing text It’s not just URLs that we need to decide how to deal with, I guess. I think this one should be rejected, too. Really, there should be no whitespace on either side of the |, and no newlines at all inside L. Any objections?
