Christian Schlichtherle commented on DOXIA-429:
-----------------------------------------------
Therefore I proposed to introduce a different syntax: [[[NAME]URI]]. This would
be an extension to the syntax used for embedding images.
> Broken link syntax in APT
> -------------------------
>
> Key: DOXIA-429
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-429
> Project: Maven Doxia
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Module - Apt
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: Christian Schlichtherle
> Assignee: Lukas Theussl
> Priority: Minor
>
> A common cause of frustration is APT's linking feature. Consider this
> example: You want to link to an external resource without a name for the
> link. So you do write:
> {noformat}
> {{http://truezip.java.net}}
> {noformat}
> Some time later you decide you would prefer a name for the link, but you
> cannot insert {name} like so:
> {noformat}
> {{{TrueZIP User Website}http://truezip.java.net}} // BROKEN!
> {noformat}
> Rather than this, you have to reverse the order and write:
> {noformat}
> {{{http://truezip.java.net}TrueZIP User Website}}
> {noformat}
> So the URI effectively moves from
> {noformat}
> {{URI}}{noformat}
> to
> {noformat}
> {{{URI}NAME}}
> {noformat}
> This is really annoying!
> I know you can't change this without breaking compatibility. So please
> provide a new linking feature, probably something like this:
> [[URI]] and [[[NAME]URI]] respectively.
