RLE: Tcl user and one of the [wikignomes]. Created pages: * [Hyperlink widget] ---- [LkpPo] - Hi RLE, I see that you care for actively improving the wiki like me. Do you know who I can contact to report a bug in the search engine? The bugtracker is hosted on Google and I do not like the idea of having to create an account with Google! Thanks. ---- Hi LkpPo - [RLE] here, I just noticed your edit to my page. If you look at the bottom of the [About the WIki] page, it implies that [Colin McCormack] might be a contact that you are looking for regarding bug reporting. ---- [LkpPo] - Hi RLE, I'll contact him. Thank you for your help. ---- [PYK] - Hi RLE, I'm looking for a way to link to the page http::geturl Any suggestions? [RLE] (2013-04-01): Try this way: [http://wiki.tcl.tk/24061%|%http::geturl %|%] Edit page to see. The problem you are encountering is that raw colon characters are not allowed in a URL ([http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt%|%rfc1738.txt %|%]). Linking to the page by wiki number gets around that limitation, and then using the wiki "rename url" syntax, you can make the link look like '''http::geturl'''. [PYK] 2013-04-01: Thanks. The problem with that, though, is that the "what links here" mechanism doesn't pick up on those links. Even if URL syntax doesn't support colons, wiki syntax still could (and should) recognize such links. I've filed [http://code.google.com/p/wikitcl/issues/detail?id=289%|%this bug] regarding the issue. [PYK] 2013-12-13: Hi RLE, on the [[`[return]`] page, you removed the brackets around the inline Tcl code examples. Isn't it standard style to put brackets around inline code examples? If you look at [AMG]'s comments on that same page, for example, they had brackets around the code examples prior to my edit. I'm somewhat on the fence about what the standard style should be, but whatever it is hopefully it can be applied consistently throughout the wiki. Maybe it's time to initiate a [Tcl Wiki Style Guide]. [AMG]: Hate to say it, but you did it again with the missing close bracket. You have: ====== [[`[return]`] ====== Which should be: ====== [[`[return]`]] ====== This will trip up the wiki markup parser if there is a mismatched open bracket nearby, plus it's very confusing and asymmetrical. [PYK]: [AMG], are you sure it will trip up the markup parser? I've never seen it do so. Rather, I interpret the double left bracket as the way to escape the bracket, but the closing bracket doesn't need to be escaped. I tend to be minimalist about syntax, so why escape the closing bracket if it isn't necessary? [PYK] 2013-12-13: The problem with using italics instead of brackets is that italics are already used to denote placeholder values that should be changed by the user to the appropriate value for a particular scenario. <> Person
