2014-05-14 Thread Andy Goth
I'd like for the [bracket] characters to not be part of the a.../a links in Fossil web pages, at least when the link text is an artifact ID. This change would make it easier to highlight just the artifact ID and omit the brackets so that I can paste it elsewhere without having to then delete

That's what I was imagining/hoping too, but I'm not sure if that was original proposal. I like the way the [ ] set off the string we care about, but then I wondered if the ease of select/copy was because the brackets were completely eliminated. -bch On 5/14/14, Stephan Beal
