Hi Jonas, This is an area that we need to improve. There's currently no check on page names but as you guessed we have some limitations so we need to add some checks.
I need to update the XWiki Syntax page since the link separator is now >> instead of > So the current rules (As far I can imagine them) are: * no "[[" or "]]" * no ">>" * no ":" (since it's used as the subwiki name) * no ".". Note that the dot is currently allowed (the first dot separates the space from the page name) - We need to forbid it in the future since we want to add support for hierarchical spaces. Right now the document name parsing is still using the old code so you shouldl currently get the same behavior as with xwiki 1.0 syntax Thanks for raising this -Vincent On Nov 20, 2008, at 9:44 PM, Jonas von Malottki wrote: > Hello Devs, > > is there some Documentation (or a Regex) which Characters are > practically allowed in page and space names?
