Description

When text contains certain mixed alphanumeric words such as MSP430F437 (the part designation of a popular microcontroller), MoinMoin breaks the alpha from the numeric part and treats the trailing numeric portion as a link.

Steps to reproduce

Just type in a mixed alphanumeric word which begins with an alpha and transitions to digits and back to alpha as text: AAA111B222.

It seems the word must begin with alpha alternate between alpha and transition to numbers and back to alpha:

MSP430

MSP430F

MSP430F437

A1

A1B

A1B2

1A

1AB

1AB2

Workaround

The only work-around I've found is to insert a double back-tick where MoinMoin breaks the word to form the link:

MSP``430F437

produces the proper unlinked form: MSP430F437

Discussion

ANOTherTest - you see here that this isn't limited to alphanumeric stuff. Numbers are just treated like small letters.

It looks like a bug. The question now is, how the fix should make look it like:

• make no WikiName link at all

• make a WikiName link of the whole word
