These are bugs:

1. (Indigo eats the closing paran. -- this one still happens
2. Ending in a number -- this one came back
3. _NormalBorders -- how to link to this topic? ¹
4. Presentations.Link(federation.LinkMaker.LinkToTopic("My Special Article Title With Spaces"), "My Special Article With Spaces") -- How to link to this topic - "SPACES !!!!! ?"

These were bugs, now work:

1. Indigo ends the link before the &
2. Indigo drops the =1.
3. http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~WikiMacros
4. Ending in a number
5. with an underbar - http://under_bar.com

¹ The _NormalBorders link (or any link beginning with _ for that matter) is very tricky, especially when one tries to generate this link from WikiTalk. Consider these cases which don't work:

 _NormalBorders some text that happens_to_contain_underscore

NormalBorders some text that happensto_contain_underscore

 FlexWiki._NormalBorders

FlexWiki._NormalBorders

 [FlexWiki._NormalBorders]

[FlexWiki._NormalBorders]

 "_NormalBorders":FlexWiki._NormalBorders

NormalBorders.NormalBorders

 FlexWiki.[_NormalBorders]

_NormalBorders

 wiki://_NormalBorders

wiki://_NormalBorders

This is an issue when using code like this which processes a list of topics:

 @@[namespace.GetTopicInfo("HomePage"), namespace.GetTopicInfo("JimmySieben"), namespace.GetTopicInfo("_NormalBorders")].Collect { each |[
        Tab, "* ", each.Fullname, Newline
 ]}@@

Which produces:

• HomePage
• JimmySieben
• FlexWiki._NormalBorders
FlexWiki is the name of the software at this site.
12/3/2006 3:33:57 AM - -81.182.199.97
FlexWiki user with experience setting up FlexWiki for project usage on an intranet.
7/19/2006 9:46:41 AM - -140.32.73.93
The software running this site. -> jump to HomePage
10/22/2006 7:52:17 AM - -81.182.199.248

Is there a foolproof way to handle generating links like this from a list which won't screw up formatting? I know that I can do this

 @@[namespace.GetTopicInfo("HomePage"), namespace.GetTopicInfo("JimmySieben"), namespace.GetTopicInfo("_NormalBorders")].Collect { each |[
        Tab, "* ", Presentations.Link(federation.LinkMaker.LinkToTopic(each.Fullname), each.Name), Newline
 ]}@@

• HomePage
• JimmySieben
• _NormalBorders

but that doesn't give quite the same result as the topic links don't contain the helpful TopicTip.
