Need a more conventional link syntax for naming links with something other than card names.

 

Can you still name links with brackets?+solution

help edit space_dashboard
We now support this new link syntax:

[ [ card name | link text ]]

The old syntax: ( [ card name ] [ link text ] ) still works but is deprecated.

Ticket originally read:

You used to be able to use brackets to name a link something different from where it's actually going to - is this still possible?

[[How to use Wagn|Using Wagn]]

should become:

[Using Wagn][How_to_use_Wagn]

but when i type it in i get:

Using Wagn

[How to use Wagn][UsingWagn]


You've never been able to do that in wagn, though we'd wanted to move to that syntax.  You could do this:

[   ] [ ]  (without the space in the middle)

I went with name first over the suggested syntax order (which put the link text first) for three main reasons:

  1. Wiki convention -- that's how wikipedia does it:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page
  2. Wagn convention -- this is more similar to the inclusion syntax, where the name comes first
  3. HTML convention -- the destination actually comes first in <A> syntax, too.

When you say name first, you mean the name of the card being linked to.
