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]]
