Defect #39883
Updated by Mischa The Evil 5 months ago
There seems to be an/some obscure, edge-case defect(s) in the link parsing of links nested inside nested brackets (both parentheses and square brackets).
Some examples:
# txt1 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ("txt":https://www.example.net))
** <pre>txt1 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ("txt":https://www.example.net))</pre>
# txt2 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ("txt":https://www.example.net) )
** <pre>txt2 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ("txt":https://www.example.net) )</pre>
# txt3 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net])
** <pre>txt3 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net])</pre>
# txt4 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net] )
** <pre>txt4 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net] )</pre>
# txt5 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]).
** <pre>txt5 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]).</pre>
# txt6 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]);
** <pre>txt6 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]);</pre>
# txt7 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]...)
** <pre>txt7 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]...)</pre>
# txt8 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]... ).
** <pre>txt8 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net]... ).</pre>
# txt9 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net] );
** <pre>txt9 (txt "txt":https://www.example.org ["txt":https://www.example.net] );</pre>
From the nine examples given above, only no. 2, 4, 8 and 9 render proper, usable output. The others mangles the second link one way or another.
This was observed while writing #39881.
Given the rarity of these formattings I wonder if this deserves much attention so I'll set a low priority.
