[Suggestion] Add blank automatically to link button on devnet

[koahnig]

I think a lot of the members on this forum have seen it, fallen into the trap, repaired it, ...

Please add a blank by default at the end of each link introduced by the link button. It would help. Currently I do not see a new problem this would raise. Does anybody else see a problem with this suggestion?

BTW: Even Trolls are prone of this problem :-)

As in make the "| link |" button under the profile snippet open the target in a new window with a [code] TARGET="_blank"[code] ?

Sorry, I do not get your question.

I think koahnig means that after you have pasted a link sometimes characters following the link are treated as part of the link and thus break the link:

Find yourself using "Google":http://www.google.com. // fine
Find yourself using Google (http://www.google.com) // broken

When talking about links one should mention that you currently cannot use links that contain parenthesis. So you can't - for example - link to the MSDN:

"GetWindowText":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633520(v=vs.85).aspx // broken

Ah, thanks Lukas, got it now. I'll check what we can do!

Thanks Lukas. You have hit the nail. I thought my explanation was clear, but obviously it was not. ;-)
Sorry Marius, for putting you on a wrong track.
