Issue with link parser

[florent.revelut]

On page http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:Learning::LinksAndMaterial
microsoft url look like
@http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ty9hx077(VS.80).aspx@

When representing correctly in wiki syntax, it leads to
@"VS 2005":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ty9hx077(VS.80).aspx@

However, it's displayed badly and link is broken:
@VS 2005 [msdn.microsoft.com]).aspx@

=> it looks like parenthesis breaks the wiki parser

I tried to replace parenthesis by their URLencoded equivalent (remove space between % and number otherwise forum syntax breaks it....)
@ ( => % 28@
@ ) => % 29@
Which leads to (remove spaces as well)
@"VS 2005":http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ty9hx077 % 28 VS.80 % 29 .aspx@

In preview, my link is working, but when submitting change, it's again broken.

Any idea ?

It's a know limitation of the wiki parser.

The real problem is, is that the actual link doesn't work either.

We should make a Jira entry, or does one exist?
Links with characters like brakets do not work by the parser. If you copy / paste the link, it works....

That this does not work is located in the issue, that the wiki engine seems to replace the %n umber by the character at stroing the post....

Right. I fixed the links.

I'm not sure if those worked in the first place and the wiki engine was changed afterwards (I normally check problematic links before saving a post or wiki page, but I cannot tell for sure here).
