... And, more importantly, its form doesn't say "separate the trail from
the link". Just like , it only *happened* to do it (I tried on
Wikipedia, and it doesn't do it now).
The point I'm trying to make in this thread is that happens to do
certain things other than showing wiki syntax without parsing, and is used
for them as if it's *intended* for it, but this is a hack. If a certain
functionality is needed, such as separating the trail from the link, then
it's worth considering creating a piece of syntax for it.
