BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=999022&group_id=34373&atid=411192 Originally submitted by Brian Kendig (bkendig) 2004-07-27 23:40 In Wikipedia, a single-bracketed link in an article will incorrectly appear with a space inserted after it in the article text. See 'http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP', which has lots of single- bracketed links. Here are some examples: This [http://foo.com/ link in single brackets], blah blah becomes: This link in single brackets , blah blah (This footnote [http://foo.com/]) becomes: (This footnote [1] ) Blah blah [http://foo.com/]; blah blah becomes: Blah blah [2] ; blah blah ------------------------- Additional comments ------------------------ Date: 2004-08-02 01:27 Sender: SF user kaarethor This problem appears to have been fixed in cvs. ------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-08-05 20:41 Sender: SF user jeluf This is caused by tidy. If wgUseTidy is "false", the page is rendered correctly.

This is already fixed in newest CVS.
Actually, it's also fixed in REL1_3 CVS, it seems.
It is not fixed. I can observe this bug even after the recent engine update.
I opened a ticket for tidy, and this is the response: > This is by design and you should not do that, see the last > paragraph of http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h- > 9.1 -- you can use different means to achieve what you > want, you can use instead of a space, for example. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=390966&aid=1094093&group_id=27659 So I added a where the space used to be.
That sf.net bug seems to me to be a different issue. Is this fixed or not?
(In reply to comment #6) The three test cases are working correctly on en.wikipedia.org and meta.wikimedia.org (v1.4.5) and test.leuksman.com (v1.5alpha2). If this is broken elsewhere, please provide details.
