In the following forum post Ali Çehreli posted a link that ends with ++: http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected] Namely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C++ The forum does not recognize the final ++ as part of the link, and so the resulting hyperlink does not point to the right place.

Hah. I see that bugzilla also gets it wrong. :-)

Wikipedia gets it right, though, even with the wrong link ;)

(In reply to comment #2) > Wikipedia gets it right, though, even with the wrong link ;) Funny ... :-)

Should I just allow URLs to end with +? The general case is more complicated, since Wikipedia has articles (or redirects) for a lot of characters normally not seen in URLs, or used to delimit URLs, such as comma and quote characters.

Is this the right place for this bug report? IMHO it should be moved to https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed/issues
