<angle brackets> in page names

Jeroen

Hallo milky.

While reading your remarks on the encoding for htmlentities, I made some more tests, with < and > in the pagename. I used the original Erfurtwiki (which I of course keep as backup), no code of my own (except for the necessary database-connect in config.php).

When I make a link like *this <is> a test, it is saved in the db with pagename "this &lt;is&gt; a test". The link is than not found.

This is no big deal of course, but when it would be possible to use < and > in the pagename, that would be very nice, especially since part of my wiki-content is about html, and using < and > in the pagename would allow me to make nicer pagenames.

Is this possible with your new improvements?

Best regards, Jeroen

milky: Ho, that's a big problem. I know where that &gt; comes from and why it doesn't got saved correctly in the database, but it is highly complicated to fix, because nearly all plugins needed to be too. I will address this bug in the next development releases season. But thanks for the notice, Jeroen. It will take some time, but this will be resolved (I'm still shocked to see that this is that horribly broken).

Jeroen Hallo milky!

I can imagine this is not a 'quick fix'. But I'm very pleased to read that you are targetting this for the next release! The wiki keeps on improving, that's great.

And the images work now too :-) I made some extra comment to it in the UserSuggestions.

Success with everything, regards, Jeroen
