[pmwiki-users] Weird Error in Definition Markup

[Kurt Devlin]

It definitely is. Some careful commenting in my config.php revealed that it
was some of my own custome markup that I added. Some users have been adding
a lot of "cut & pasted" email responses (including the email headers) to our
wiki pages. I added some markup so that it would take less editing to turn
the names in the header into Profiles links.

# Markup directive to handle alternate name patterns for profiles. Uses
[[~LAST, FIRST]] pattern
Markup('alternate-profile','directives','/\\[\\[~(.*?),
(.*?)\\]\\]/',"[[Profiles/$2 $1|$1, $2]]");

This made it easy to turn

    From: Devlin, Kurt
    To: Michaud, Patrick R.

into:

    From: [[~Devlin, Kurt]]
    To: [[~Michaud, Patrick]] R.

instead of rearranging the first and last names myself. For example,

    From: [[~Kurt Devlin]]
    To: [[~PatrickMichaud|Patrick R. Michaud]]

So when this pattern saw ":[[~Kurt Devlin]]:Lead for [[MyProjectA/]],
[[MyProjectB/]]", it kind of lost it's mind.

Do you have any ideas on how to tweak the pattern to save my initial concept
and prevent this side effect?

Thanks,
Kurt
