doc/bugs/URLs_with_parentheses_displayed_badly.mdwn



I've noticed that Ikiwiki displays URLs with parentheses badly. The problem occurs
in the latest version 3.00 and older versions. Please look at the link to following
Polish entry about C programming language at Wikipedia (it seems that URLs with
parentheses are popular there):
Język programowania C
I need to escape a closing parenthesis of the URL to fix the problem.
[Język programowania C](http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(j%C4%99zyk_programowania))

This is a bug in markdown version 1. It is fixed in [[!cpan Text::Markdown]],
which ikiwiki will use if it's installed. [[done]] --[[Joey]]


Thanks a lot for the hint, Joey! I've installed libtext-markdown-perl package
(Aptitude has removed markdown package to satisfy dependencies) and now
I don't need to escape Wikipedia URLs with parentheses :) --[[Paweł|users/ptecza]]
