Item1959: Broken links result when InterWiki shortcut

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	No Action Required	Extension	InterwikiPlugin

I'm calling this an Engine bug because TWiki is rendering something it should be leaving alone.

Broken links result when Interwiki shortcut conflicts with topic name

Example:

We have an Interwiki shortcut, CMR defined as

http://cm.ops/requests.php?action=viewrequest&cmr_id=$page

The user also has a topic named CMR in his web.

Use of the following Interwiki code

CMR:214258

resulted in a broken link, in which one a href is embedded in another a href and TWiki attempted to link part of the Interwiki result to the named topic.

<a href="http://cm.ops/requests.php?action=viewrequest&cmr_id=214258" title="CM.ops  <a href="/view/Abuse/CMR" class="twikiLink">CMRs</a>" class="interwikiLink">CMR:214258</a>

Reassigning to InterwikiPlugin, because it ought to escape what it has done to prevent further application of the rendering rules.

Confirmed.

This has been fixed, but not sure when.
