If the Description field has a link to a specific (directory or file) path containing underscores,
the underscores may be rendered into HTML code and this will result in a broken link.
This is a pretty usual case:
1. You describe some scenario within the JIRA issue
2. Want to provide a link to an UNC path (on a file server) with some additional information
3. You Copy&Paste the path information from the file explorer, e.g.
Here as noformat:
{noformat}
Fileserver data _Customers Suppliers ABC
{noformat}
And here the outcome as rendered Wiki-Link
Fileserver data _Customers Suppliers ABC
The noformat isn't an option and workaround here:
a) No link functionality
b) The user has to 'think of it' and must add the extra noformat macro
How to get rid of rendering the _ into the HTML code and have a working link?
Hi Bajan,
As per discussed in your support ticket, it turns out that the behavior is a bug and is now tracked in the following bug report:
- https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-31687
I hope that this helps to clarify the matter, however as a workaround for us we will use the {noformat} macro for the time being.
Thanks,
Ahmad
