I'd like to use a shortcut like [[gnumach-1-branch ddb/db_expr.h]] to link to
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnumach/ddb/db_expr.h?view=log&root=hurd&pathrev=gnumach-1-branch.

Dashes are not allowed in shortcut identifiers.  Why?


No reason. Fixed in git. --[[Joey]]


The URL is rewritten to
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnumach/ddb%2Fdb%5Fexpr%2Eh?view=log&root=hurd&pathrev=gnumach-1-branch,
which the remove server doesn't like.  Mind the esacping of [^A-Za-z0-9].
Might this be a problem of the web server?

Also, I'd like to put the shortcut usages into backticks
-- [[iki shortcuts]] --
to have them displayed in the usual backtick-formatting.
That also doesn't work, but this is an already-reported issue, as far as I know.
