Description Nicolas Bros CLA 2010-05-05 11:22:40 EDT 
A link like "[[MoDisco/QueryManager|create a query set]]" does not seem to be handled; the wiki markup appears as-is in the output.

See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Piped_link

Hi Nicolas,

This problem occurs when piped links are declared on several lines in Mediawiki

Mediawiki does not have a problem with that, so 

[[MoDisco/QueryManager
|create a query set]]

and 

[[MoDisco/QueryManager|create a query set]]

are resolved in Mediawiki, not with mediawiki-to-eclipse-help


Regards

Nicolas

Yes, that's the problem: Mylyn WikiText handles these links just fine as long as they're on one line.  If they're split over multiple lines then Mylyn WikiText has problems detecting them.

Mylyn WikiText processes markup one line at a time.  As a result, fixing this bug will likely require significant effort.
In the short term I recommend modifying your links so that they don't span multiple lines.

Closed as part of backlog clean-up.  Please re-open if you'd like to see this revisited, perhaps with a contribution.
