Bug with parser function inside external link
This syntax does not highlight properly in Firefox 32.0.3 on Windows:

[ my text]

The  gets highlighted in yellow, but the external link syntax around it does not. I realize this is a tricky case because the syntax highlighter doesn't call the fullurl parser function, but maybe fullurl is common enough that it should be handled specially. --Maiden taiwan (talk) 15:33, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the fullurl syntax is different in different languages, which would make handling it difficult (this is the same reason why etc. are not highlighted). Maybe it's time to engineer in a language pack system to grab the localized text you need for your language and no others. To be honest though, I'm not sure that what you're doing is all that common, and maybe it could be better handled by writing a template that makes a fullurl link automatically. —Remember the dot (talk) 16:59, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply! The fullurl pattern is the recommended solution when you're creating local links with query string arguments, like . On our wiki, this is reasonably common. Anyway, I hope my suggestions are helpful. Maiden taiwan (talk) 18:29, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
