Pipe used inside page link results in new column being created

Open whitehawkJulie opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug If I copy a link into a table cell, like [[my page title|the text to show]], it seems to work fine, but when I leave the note and come back to it, it's created an extra column with "the text to show]]" in it - it's interpreted the pipe "|" as a new column indicator.

Expected behavior That a pipe used inside another markdown command (like, the page link) won't be interpreted as part of the table syntax i.e. won't create a new column.

Screenshots In the first row with text, you can see the kind of link I'm trying to make, before it's been re-parsed. In the next row with text, you can see that a similar link as been split into two columns.

I've found a workaround - use markdown style links, not wiki links ... but because my file names have spaces in them, I have to add <> around the file name, so like this: [r2-at2](<R2 - AT2 - UX & CMD - Mon arvo>)

Also, [[Self Study Notes#Heat Flux\\|Heat Flux]] and [[Self Study Notes#Heat Flux\|Heat Flux]] does not fix the issue.
