Broken link syntax in APT
-------------------------
Key: DOXIA-429
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-429
Project: Maven Doxia
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Module - Apt
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Christian Schlichtherle
Priority: Minor
A common cause of frustration is APT's linking feature. Consider this example:
You want to link to an external resource without a name for the link. So you do
write:
{{http://truezip.java.net}}
Some time later you decide you would prefer a name for the link, but you cannot
insert {name} like so:
{{{TrueZIP User Website}http://truezip.java.net}} // BROKEN!
Rather than this, you have to reverse the order and write:
{{{http://truezip.java.net}TrueZIP User Website}}
So the URI effectively moves from {{URI}} to {{{URI}NAME}}. This is really
annoying!
I know you can't change this without breaking compatibility. So please provide
a new linking feature, probably something like this:
[[URI]] and [[[NAME]URI]] respectively.
