#14159 Wiki feedback: Broken urls with parentheses, code line numbering request
8 months, 3 weeks ago Edited by nj on Jan. 29, 2018, 4:18 p.m. Reason: Initial post

While testing a new article to see how the markup goes, I encountered a url containing parentheses, the results were buggy:


And to my request, I'd like to ask for an option to continue code blocks, so the writer will have an option to insert commentary in the middle of a block.
An example:
1
2
3
4
```C
1. some_part_of_a_code_section();
2. // stuff happens here
```

As we saw, stuff happened there, but to solve that kind of stuff, we'll need some other stuff:
1
2
3
4
```C,continued
3. continuation_of_the_previous_stuff();
4. // a great solution, cheers
```

This isn't a bug but a limitation of markdown's URL format. There are [a few ways around it][1], most of which are supported in our markdown flavor

(if this post were markdown, the text "a few ways around it" would render as a link to the above url)

As for the latter, this is possible but will require some inventive syntax. I'll consider it for a future update to the wiki system.
