--- Comment #11 from Elitre <[email protected]> ---
I am leaving aside the semicolon issue, covered elsewhere.
About what I reported in Comment 5:

1) Type ":foobar"
2) select all of this, from the colon (included) to the final r
3) click on the linking tool, and make this a link to the article "foobar"
4) save.
*outcome: the colon is included in the link; the link is working but the colon
is invisible (and I think this is certainly not desirable).

Please note that this also happens to ": foobar", that is, if the colon and the
typed word are separated by a space.


1) Type "foobar:"
2) select all of this, from the f to the colon, including it
3) click on the linking tool, and make this a link to "foobar"
4) save.
*outcome: the colon is included in the link, it is visible, the link works fine
(and I think this is not good code).

Please note that when a piped link is created instead (for example if foobar is
a link to Foobar2000), the colons will be part of the link in every case and
they will all be visible.

My point is mainly that VE could easily understand when the punctuation is
added by mistake, because the label and the target link will be different. So
if the target does not feature a punctuation mark, but the label does, that was
probably not wanted. 

HTH.
