• noAutoLink

Otherwise to avoid linking in these areas the Plugins nneds code for checking for auto linking e.g. explicitly copying it from TWiki.pm.

Some time ago we decided against the noAutoLink switch, see DisableWikiWordLinks. We keep the code, but it is not documented in TextFormattingRules.

Therefore we should not burden the plugin with this extra call. In case a plugin does depend on the noAutoLink switch, it should be tracked in the plugin.

I found that part an attribute in html in a template is now rendered - which doesn't work. I can't use <nop> as the brackets get translated as they're in html. <noautolin> was the only thing I could get to work.

Now I understand why you want this in. TWiki should filter out all <nop> tags before sending text to the browser, regardless if they are in the topic text or template. Places that don't need to be fixed.

The problem is caused by the embedded html part of getRenderedVersion:

            s/\<(\S.*?)\>/$TranslationToken$1$TranslationToken/go;
            s/</&lt\;/go;
            s/>/&gt\;/go;

It text is <a href="..." title="... <nop>TopicName ..."> then first greater than goes to TranslationToken, but this is the one immediately after nop and than at the end of the href, in other words, nesting is ignored.

That is yet another case. The TWiki code should eventually be fixed to escape starting and ending tags correctly.

BTW, I also ran into this problem with the pop up comments in the InterwikiPlugin. The documented workaround there is to enclose topic names in single quotes, thus escaping the WikiWords.
