That way, code snippets that contain [...] do not have to escape the [...]. And example. In http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/10aee063c4 on the 2012-11-19 07:31:25 comment by anonymous, you can see an unescaped "[]". This is rendered in red prior to the recent change - and (as of this writing) is still shown in red on www.fossil-scm.org since I have not recompiled the Fossil on www.fossil-scm.org yet. But if you look at the same ticket using the very latest Fossil, the Fossil that includes the change, the [] is shown correctly. Lots and lots of people have been requesting this change, since it makes it so much easier to type check-in comments and tickets. Most users, I am told, expect that check-in comments and tickets will be plain text, without markup. Decorating real hyperlinks is OK, but one should not change the text in any way, I am told. This latest change is a move in that direction. Please tell me why you think this is not a good idea? If necessary, it can be made optional. But I couldn't think of a reason to display broken links in red rather than just not transforming them at all. -- D. Richard Hipp d...@sqlite.org
