Follow-up Comment #12, task #2874 (project savane):

I think it is important to distinguish between disable-wiki-formatting and
treat-this-verbatimly tags.  E.g. MediaWiki has <nowiki> and <code> tags for
these purposes.  The first tag is used to overcome false matches, the second
carries contextual meaning.  It's also much like <pre> and <code> in HTML.

Regarding external links I think it is better to use single brackets and
allow only a limited set of protocols, like http, https and probably nothing
else.  That way double brackets can be reserved for internal links and the
syntax is more similar to MediaWiki.  Matching is still pretty fail-safe
given that you match for `\[(http|https)://...'.
