 Hi,

 Sorry, but I can’t see how it would help in my use case.

 My code currently generates a list of links and the title of the page:

 * [[name >> fullname]]

 Adding the {{{…}}} outside the link syntax [[…]] doesn’t make sense, and placing it
inside breaks everything (it doesn’t pass any of my hard test cases). 

It will work in the label but not in the reference obviously…

Thanks

PS: Please use the list

 Hi,

 If you want to make sure to output verbatim text (ie not interpreted) you can use the
{{{…}}} syntax when using XWiki Syntax 2.0+

 See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HVerbatim

 However this may not be enough for your needs. We’re currently lacking an escape tool for
wiki syntax AFAIK and I remember seeing a JIRA issue about this (can’t find it right now).
I agree that we should push for this since it’s becoming something more and more asked
for.

 Thanks

  Currently, I'm using something like this to
generate a list of pages whose
 prefix is "Prefix:" and link to them:

 {velocity}} (((

 #foreach ($row in $services.query.hql("select doc.name, doc.fullName from
 XWikiDocument doc where doc.space.hidden = false and doc.space not in
 ('XWiki', 'Sandbox', 'Main', 'Macros') and doc.name like
 'Prefix:%'").execute())

 * **[[$row[0].replaceFirst("Prefix: *",
"").replaceAll("~",
 "~~~~").replaceAll("[\x20-\x7f&&[^a-zA-Z0-9 ~]]",
 "~~$0")>>doc:$row[1].replaceAll("~",
"~~").replaceAll("[\x5b\x5d|]", "\\$0
(file://///$0%0b%3e%20) ")]]**

 #end

 ))) {{/velocity}}

 I have tested with some heavy test cases like

 Prefix:

~~~!!!```@@@$$$%%%^^^&&&***((()))___----+++==={{{}}}[[[]]]\\\|||:::;;;'''"""
 ???///...>>>,,,<<<

 And what I have above works correctly (both showing the title and linking to
 the document). I only work on a few hard test cases, though, so I'm not sure
 if I missed anything.

 Is there a method that does all this automatically? Or is there a better
 approach to this?
