Item11997: Some links incorrectly render the System web name

Entered as

[[System.InstallationGuide#A_40optional_45_42required_on_Windows_42_41_Configure_the_locations_of_the_Perl_executable_and_the_Foswiki_modules][InstallationGuilde]]

For some reason the Support web is prefixed. (or in this case, the Tasks web)

InstallationGuilde

Maybe not. It looks like the Wysiwyg editor changes that to:

<a href="System.InstallationGuide#A_40optional_45_42required_on_Windows_42_41_Configure_the_locations_of_the_Perl_executable_and_the_Foswiki_modules" target="_blank">InstallationGuide</a>.   

And it's that link that is rendered in the local web - Tasks/System.InstallationGuide

InstallationGuide.

so this is a Wysiwyg/ TinyMCE issue?

I think it's a Wysiwyg round-trip issue. The squab link doesn't make the round trip back as a correctly formatted link. Though I'm really not sure. It still might be Render. Testing:

• <a href="System.InstallationGuide">...<a> rendered as: Installation Guide
• <a href="/System.InstallationGuide">...<a> rendered as: Installation Guide

The first example is relative to the current web, the 2nd is relative to site root. I'm not sure which should be the correct behavior when a simple Web.Topic is written in a href. And is the bug:

• Wysiwyg should have been able to roundtrip back to a squab
• href's in Web.Topic format should be rendered with / to be relative to the site root
• Both of the above?

It appears that this is actually fixed in current versions of WysiwgyPlugin. I can't recreate the error now. There was a fix that causes Square Bracket links to remain in that format by tagging them. Fix for Item12043. Changing this to no action required.
