Problems with XWiki links with non-alphanumeric characters

Here's an issue I feel should be addressed before the 1.0 release: Create a wiki page with links like the following: [Images: Good or Bad?] [C++ Examples] XWiki renders the first link like this: <a class="wikicreatelink" href=""><span class="wikicreatelinktext">Images: Good or Bad?</span><span class="wikicreatelinkqm">?</span></a> It's completely broken. The second link is rendered like this: <span class="wikilink"><a href="/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/C+++Examples">C++ Examples</a></span> XWiki should be able to gracefully handle Wiki links with non alpha-numeric characters. Here are my thoughts on a solution to the problem: 1. When rendering a Wiki link, XWiki could strip out all non-alphanumeric characters. Thus, a link like [Images: Good or Bad?] would render as <a href="/.../ImagesGoodorBad">Images: Good or Bad?</a>. Benefits: Straightforward to implement. Yields nice clean document names. Drawbacks: Presents backwards compatibility problems; several different Wiki links could map to the same document name. 2. XWiki could perform URL encoding on the Wiki links. Benefits: Better backwards compatibility (I think). Drawbacks: Yucky document names. Perhaps there are other solutions somewhere in between. My personal preference is #1. Backwards compatibility could perhaps be addressed with a configuration option switch. I created a Jira issue for this: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-188 Thoughts? Stephen
