[fossil-users] Excluding [brackets] from a.../a links
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 the brackets manually. Most web browsers make it very hard to start highlighting in the middle of link text, as they choose to interpret that as dragging an object.

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 sgb...@googlemail.com wrote: On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 11:22 PM, B Harder brad.har...@gmail.com wrote: Andy, to be clear, are you suggesting: a) blah blah [a href=somethingcafebabe/a] blah blah blah My comments assumed this interpretation.

Re: [fossil-users] Excluding [brackets] from a.../a links
Thus said Matt Welland on Wed, 14 May 2014 16:08:50 -0700: I have the same annoyance with scrape 'n paste. Would adding a space between the [ or ] and the hex string alleviate the annoyance but still provide the visual delineation? I think the problem isn't the amount of space between the [] and the UUID, but rather that most browsers cannot handle copy selection of text that is part of an anchor tag. Adding space wouldn't make it easier because the space would still be part of the ``link.'' Placing the [] outside of the a anchor tag is what I believe is proposed to make it easier to copy/paste. Honestly, I'm surprised that modern browser makers haven't figured out that copy selection of just a portion of the anchor text is actually a desirable feature!
