Quotes in links
« on: May 12, 2012, 10:51:46 AM »
It's been annoying me for some time now that the url BB-code doesn't parse quotation marks. While I don't use them myself, it's annoying whenever it happens from others. Would it be possible to have the url tag ignore them?

I don't know what URL you're trying, but you might be able to substitute %22 in place of it. Over at The Den, their URL tag doesn't handle parenthesis and you have to use %28 and %29 to bypass it.

I meant when people are typing [url="link.tld"] rather than [url=link.tld]

The reason for not doing that is precisely because it could break links which legitimately contain parentheses, as the Den's does.

And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.
