Item1396: Anchors are not handled by WysiwygPlugin

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:

Links should be displayed as links in the editor just as well. Today there is an ugly reformatting, that disturbs inexperienced users.

See this video for a demonstration.

I accept that is incorrect, and is a problem in the WysiwygPlugin. Confirmed.

Ok, we know link handling sucks at the moment - it does need to be shinier - but we are all aware of this and will hopefully get better link dialogues/inline link support eventually.

Re-titling this to something more bug-like, and that's the anchor handling

And set to MichaelTempest in case he has some ideas

There are several problems here:

1. square-bracketed links are not rendered correctly
   • This could be fixed now (at least for simple cases), in TML2HTML?
2. If you enter square-bracket text (e.g. [[link]]) and apply a link in TMCE, you get junk like this: [[http://google.co.za][google]]
   • This could be fixed now, in HTML2TML?
3. Once you create an anchor in TMCE, you cannot edit it
   • This needs javascript stuff in TMCE
4. Anchors are not converted to TML-style anchors if the anchor name is a wikiword
   • This could be fixed now, in HTML2TML?
5. HTML anchors and TML-style anchors are not rendered as anchor-images, like those created by TMCE
   • This could be fixed now, in TML2HTML? , but there is no point in doing so until TMCE can edit anchors

I have removed myself from waiting-for.
