AtLinks

Goal

Provide an alternative solution to build links by prefixing the page names with an @

Solution

Set in the file local/config.php the following lines:

 
function CHX($x,$y) { if ($y=='') return NULL; return $y; }
## @"target | text" or  @'target|text' or @'target;tex't or @"target, tx"
Markup('@_','links',
  "/@([\\x22\\x27])([^|,;]+?)(?:[|,;](.*?))*\\1($SuffixPattern)/e",
  "Keep(MakeLink(\$pagename,PSS('$2'),CHX(PSS('$2'),PSS('$3')),'$4'),'L')");

## @link (after a non alphanum char)
Markup('@','<wikilink',
  "/(?<![[:alnum:]])@([[:alnum:]\\.\\/\\-_]+[[:alnum:]])/e",
  "Keep(MakeLink(\$pagename,PSS('$1'),NULL,NULL),'L')");

## @link @"text -> target" 		  
Markup('@->','<@_',
  "/@(\\x22)([^\\x22]+?)\\s*-+&gt;\\s*(\\S[^\\x22]+?)\\x22/e",
  "Keep(MakeLink(\$pagename,PSS('$3'),PSS('$2'),NULL),'L')"); 	

This work in addition to existing linking, the usual linking stuff remains active.

Usage

@cat , -@dog ...@Test/bear @CNC25 - Address : toto@wanadoo.fr

S @dlink make@"univers" 

@"Test/a link"  @"Test.another link"  `@ is not ok

@"target|text" , @"target2,2text"e - @'target3 ; 3text'e

@'Test/lnk1;txt1',@"Test/lnk2;txt2"

-@"one link "- -@"l'élément"

@"skin config" @"Test.link | text" 

@"Test.link, text"ual  - @"Test.lnk2, txt2" 

This is quite flexible, you can use as text separator | or , or ;
and as container ' or " so it is possible to have ' in the text. By example :

@"PmWikiFr/Conseils pour l'édition"

Though the notation @"text -> target" works only with double quotes

See an example here :

Restrictions

That don't work in PmWiki/WikiTrails

Discussion

The risk is to break standards, if you wish to exchange pages with others wiki.

This can also be studied as exchange to double brackets when posting, with ROSPatterns function, but it will lost a part of the interest, which is a better readability than double brackets markup.
