Changes in parsing between v5 and 6

posts: 9

Can anyone tell me why this was changed and how to get around it :

In 4 and 5 this ((Easy and Play|Easy & Play)) produced a wikilink like: Easy & Play

In 6 it produces : Easy & amp; Play

It is not possible to circumvent this by using an np command and using ~038~ as per the documentation, that produces #038 rather than &

Why is the text that follows | in wikilink not parsed as text ?


I do not understand the rationale behind this change and cannot believe this is a bug, since this is basic parsing and would have been caught early on ?

It looks like a bug to me. A workaround is to use the external link syntax, which leaves the ampersand character alone.
