Description

If the label of named external link is a URL to an image, the display is not correct:

 * [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de Moin Moin Wiki] <= OK!
 * [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de http://moinmaster.wikiwikiweb.de] <= OK!
 * [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnLinking] <= OK!
 * [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/nonexistant.png] <= NG! Show original URL instead of the label text
 * [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/moinmoin.png] <= NG! Show the image pointed by the labeled URL instead of the label text

• Moin Moin Wiki <= OK!

• http://moinmaster.wikiwikiweb.de <= OK!

• http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnLinking <= OK!

• <= NG! Show original URL instead of the label text

• <= NG! Show the image pointed by the labeled URL instead of the label text

Discussion

This is not a bug. Moin's usual behaviour when encountering an image url is to show the image. Thus the case where you see the image is expected behaviour.

The other case looks a bit strange, because you gave the url of a nonexistant image. Moin does not and can not know whether an image on some (possibly remote) server exists or not. But your browser notices this: it can't load the image and chooses to display the alt text (which is the target url). So this is also no bug.

• IMHO, it is a label text not an image url (even it looks like a url). Please refer the following examples:

   . (A) without label:
    . [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/moinmoin.png]
   . (B) with general label:
    . [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/moinmoin.png General Label Text]
   . (C) with label in URL format:
    . [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/moinmoin.png http://moinmaster.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/common/moindude.png]

• (A) without label:

  • http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/wiki/moinmoin.png

• (B) with general label:

  • General Label Text

• (C) with label in URL format:

• This bug is minor. I just was curious. I noticed it when tring to fix HelpOnLinking (rev 36 to 37). The display of following example in Rev 36 is very strange:

   [http:/wiki/common/moinmoin.png http:/wiki/common//moinmoin.png] partial URL

OK! I know why you said it is not a bug. The format of named external link is [url label]. I think label must be rendered as a text. However, based on your design, the label may be rendered as a text or an image. Right? -- RuxLi 2006-03-23 08:47:19
