Package: ikiwiki
Version: 2.40
Severity: normal
Hello.
While migrating my site to use prefix directives, after rebuilt I
noticed a smelly diff in one blog entry involving several \[[ escapes.
In particular:
* when rendering a page, if the \[[ is between `backticks` and not
]]-closed in the same line, the backslash is emitted in the html
output.
This works with prefix_directives disabled.
* for \[[ escapes that are closed in the same line, and *only* when
inlining, the opening and closing double brackets are not emitted.
The case where the escape contains spaces works without prefix
directives, and doesn't with them. If the escape is a single word,
it doesn't work in either case (nor with 2.32).
The following file illustrates the problem:
-8<-
So, \[[this escape]] gets its brackets stripped when inlined.
Now, the next one is always emitted with the backslash: `\[[this
one]]`, but only because it's between backticks. In a block:
\[[this one brackets stripped]]
\[[this one
backslash preserved]]
Finally, this \[[escape]] too gets its brackets stripped when inlining,
but that's not 2.40 specific.
