Hi There,
So I was just having some trouble with auto_link and markdown.
Specfically auto_link was failing to handle urls with tildas in them (~)
e.g.
http://www.hawaii.edu/~name/index.html
and markdown couldn’t handle an acute accent (`) e.g.
Hawai`i
It seems that acute accents (or backticks) in Markdown signify code
segments, and it seems there’s an open ticket for this:
However, regarding auto_link I found where I could fix this in
actionpack-1.11.0\lib\action_view\helpersTextHelper.rb
changing the following line:
([\w]+[=?&/.-]?)* # url segment
to this
([\w~]+[=?&/.-]?)* # url segment
I can see that there are a number of tickets relating to auto_link:
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/search?q=auto_link&wiki=on&changeset=on&ticket=on
However I am unclear how to submit this as a fix. Any guidance would be
greatly appreciated.
I’d also appreciate any pointers on how to run the TextHelper tests to
ensure I haven’t broken anything else
