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 -Vincent 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

-Vincent

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?
