[emacs-wiki-discuss] escaped whitespaces in link names

[Mario Peter]

Hi everybody,

I recently realized, that 'name' in emacs-wiki-make-link in
emacs-wiki.el is treated by emacs-wiki-link-escape, which replaces
among others whitespaces with '%20'. So, for example, when creating a
task for planner in gnus I get 'E-Mail%20from%20Blabla'.

Isn't it better to leave the name of a wiki link how it is? In the
visiable part of a link there should be allowed any character, this
is IMO, what this syntax is for.

So, I changed the following to get my planner links working again:

--snip--
(defun emacs-wiki-make-link (link &optional name)
  "Return a Wiki link to LINK with NAME as the text."
  (let ((case-fold-search nil))
    (unless name
      (setq name (emacs-wiki-wiki-visible-name link)))
    (setq link (emacs-wiki-wiki-link-target link))
    (when (equal name link)
      (setq name nil))
    (if name
        (if (and (string-match
                  (concat "^\\(?:" emacs-wiki-url-or-name-regexp "\\)$") link)
                 (string= name link))
            name
          (concat "[[" (emacs-wiki-link-escape link)
;;                  "][" (emacs-wiki-link-escape name t) "]]"))
                  "][" name "]]"))
      ;; No name
      (if (string-match
           (concat "^\\(?:" emacs-wiki-url-or-name-regexp "\\)$") link)
          link
        (concat "[[" (emacs-wiki-link-escape link) "]]")))))
--snap--

What do you think?

Mario
