Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Sepcifying query string and anchor in link references to documents for XWiki Syntax 2.1

Hi, The discussion started in http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/hqvmy34jfknb2waa but since it's an important decision I'm making it a full thread here. The idea is to know how we want to represent query string and anchors in links to documents in XWiki Syntax 2.1. In 2.0 we were using: [[label>>whatever?queryString#anchor]] The proposal is to move query string and anchor to a link parameter. It be done like this: [[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b&c=d" anchor="..."]] We could decide to use another syntax for parameters (ie query string) such as: [[label>>doc:mypage||parameters="a=b,c=d" anchor="..."]] This would make it a little bit less URL-specific. The pros of this approach are: - no need for the user to escape the ? and # characters in document names

- makes the syntax a little bit less "magic" and more formal The cons: - Takes a bit longer to write - A new syntax to learn WDYT?
