There are a couple of places in the Vim help files where ASCII art is
used which interacts in a bad way with the interpretation of pipe
characters. The ones I've noticed are gui.txt around line 170 and
quotes.txt around line 270. In both cases, some of the pipe symbols
are interpreted as delimiters of links. Concealing the pipe symbols
makes it worse.
An easy way around this would be to mark the whole ASCII art as an
"example". Perhaps a better way would be to introduce a new syntax
element which simply turns off interpretation of help syntax; in other
words, an "example" region except that it is not displayed in blue.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

I happen to be immune to the "conceal" problem because quite some time
ago I decided that I preferred the "old-style" links, showing the bars:
" do not make help bars and stars invisible
hi clear helpBar
hi link helpBar helpHyperTextJump
hi clear helpStar
hi link helpStar helpHyperTextEntry
...and I don't use the conceal option ('conceallevel' remains at its
default of zero). Of course this might not suit you.
Why not turn it blue? These are, after all, "illustrations", and not
meant to be shown in polychrome; blue-on-white is just as good for them
(IMHO) as black-on-white.
Best regards,
Tony.
