Aliasing other trac links

[Guardian]

Would it be possible to use this plugin to alias other trac links ???

In the absence of a bibtex plugin, I defined:

[link]
names=reference
reference_url = http://www.some-where.org/wiki/References#%s

So that reference:001 points to the proper anchor in my References wiki page (anchors come from the headings).

However, I would have found it more convenient to do that:

[link]
names=reference
reference_url = [wiki:References#%s]

This is just an example but I'm pretty sure other useful ones can be used. Regards, Guardian

Interesting idea. As a side note (as the request was for 0.9), in Trac 0.10 with the help of the InterWiki feature, you could achieve this by setting the following entry in your InterMapTxt page:

names /yourprojectname/wiki/References#$1     # See $1 in References

Sorry, you wanted to use reference:001, not names:001, so the InterMapTxt entry should rather be:

reference /yourprojectname/wiki/References#$1     # See $1 in References

Note also that 0.10 allows you to specify explicitely the id for a heading, so you could write, e.g.

== Reference 001 == #001

in your References page.

Thank you for the information, I'll definitely give it a try when I install 0.10

== Reference 001 == #001

it does not work because #001 is viewed as a ticket trac link.

(sorry, I tried to reply to this yesterday, but th's disk was full ;) )

So yes, the example is wrong. You can't have a fragment identifier starting with a number, it's in the spec.

One can actually even build cross-refs footnotes with this...

---

-> wiki source:

=== A brand new section === #sec1
This can be explained in more details^[#ref001 1]^.

===== [#sec1 1]. __Creating new sections, why and how__, by R.J Hacker ===== #ref001

-> renders as:

A brand new section

This can be explained in more details¹.

1. Creating new sections, why and how, by R.J Hacker

So can this be closed, or is there still something that you think could be enhanced in the ​trac:InterWiki syntax?

Nice usage example.

I don't know if the discussion belongs to this ticket, however when using ​trac:InterWiki, it could be nice to have the opportunity to control the default display of the link itself and not only the tooltip like GeneralLinkSyntaxPlugin allows to do: the reference:001 wiki syntax would generate a [001] link instead of a reference:001 link.

I don't know if such a feature would be usefull though since reference:001 clearly gives the nature of the information: this is a link to a reference document; which could be preferred.

This plugin is deprecated in Trac 0.10. InterMapTxt provides the same functionality. The 0.9 version of the plugin is no longer supported.
