[url] Tag fails at some unescaped special characters
Posted: 25 Apr 2012, 23:07
Hey,
I just noticed, that the url Tag fails at some special characters like Umlauts. If I want to link to this page e.g.:
https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX-Wörterbuch:_Anführungszeichen
and place it inside of the url tags it appears as follows:
[url=https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX-Wörterbuch:_Anführungszeichen]link[/url]
[url="https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX-Wörterbuch:_Anführungszeichen"]link[/url]
[url]https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX-Wörterbuch:_Anführungszeichen[/url]
It simply doesn't display the Links due to the Umlauts. If I escape the symbols though (replacing ü with %FC and ö with %F6) it works. I don't know how flexible phpBB is, but if you can find a way to escape special characters in URLs it should work.
