Automatic parsing feature parses page titles and page properties

[cullen-dev]

Original Issue: Linker parsing property blocks #28

Details:

Sep 23, 2022

Having the "autocomplete on Enter" on, the linker parses property blocks and tries to link them. This corrupts the syntax and throws a parsing exception for the block. E.g., type:: page becomes [[type]]:: [[page]]

Hi, this should have been fixed by #29. The new release made today includes the fix: https://github.com/sawhney17/logseq-automatic-linker/releases/tag/1.3.0

Update 2024-07-18

According to the information above, this issue should have been resolved by #29 however, it does not appear that this issue has truly been resolved. It may have been previously, but it appears that this behavior is still present. I have only tested this issue with the alias:: and title:: properties but I am assuming this applies to any and all page properties, but I have not specifically tested any others. The impact on these two properties alone is enough for it to be a breaking issue for me.

Example:

When attempting to create a new page called "mobile version" with the following properties:

alias:: mobile versions, mobile version's, mobile versions', mobile-version, mobile-versions title:: mobile version

Upon pressing Enter key, the auto-linker plugin parses the page title and the alias values into page references. #29

alias:: mobile [[versions]], [[mobile [[version]]]]'s, [[mobile]] [[versions']], mobile-version, mobile-versions title:: mobile [[version]]

Any aliases affected by this do not work as intended. For example, the alias, "mobile versions", that I attempted to add, became "mobile [[versions]]". As a result, when I try to create a page reference to "mobile versions" using "[[mobile versions]]", it attempts to creates a new page, because it does not recognize it as an alias of the "mobile version" page:

I'm not sure if a more recent update broke the fixes implemented in #29, or if this is the intended behavior, but it is really frustrating. Obviously I can just turn off the auto-parsing feature when creating new pages/adding page properties, but I don't always think about it, especially when I am in a hurry. I don't see any personal use cases where I would want to create automatic links in my properties. In the case that I wanted auto-links in my properties block, I could use the hotkey for auto-linking an individual block. Any help/suggestions??!

I really love this plugin and it has saved me a ton of time! However, the current functionality is driving me just a little crazy.

Thanks in advance for any help!
