The link http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#su should be automatically recognized as a hyper link by the forum software. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
It does get recognised. Here's a proof: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-323070.html
reopened, because here is the anti-proof: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2303581#2303581
This has nothing to do with the # character, but with phpBB not recognising ...]http://www.gentoo.org/... as a URL.
To Comment #2 From Toralf F
To Comment #2 From Toralf Förster: You could have given the example from start, don't you think? As Comment #3 states, an URL must always start by a valid URI. Obviously, [/quote]http:// is nt a valid URI.
[quote]lalala[/quote] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#su [quote]lalala[/quote]http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#su Seems to be related to a missing space between the [/quote] and the url. The first one works, the second doesn't. Personally, i don't have a clue how much bug/feature this is.
@Wernfried: Right, changed my example to [/quote] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#su and now it is marked as a link. The space is required (may be this is a bug)
This is to do with way that phpBB parses the BBCode, if you want a url to show up use the [url] tags: [quote]lalala[/quote][url]http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#su[/url]
Comment #7 From Tom Knight: Do you think we could send this upstream?
