RE: link export confused when URL parameter is another URL

["Cook, Malcolm" <MEC@stowers.org>]

David,

Thanks for your sleuthing.....

I've not been digging on orgmode internals, so I defer to you of course.  

But it seems to me that the [[link][text]] pattern might provide a context in which embedded links are not sought (i.e. there is no link internal to top-level link).

Just a thought.... perhaps expressible as a context-free-grammar.

Cheers back,

Malcolm

The problem here is that Org's (legacy) support for plain links (i.e. without square brackets) kicks in and transforms the fragment part to a normal square bracket link.

My regexp-foo is not as it should be, but I am on this one to fix it; What we need to express in `org-export-normalize-link' is, that a plain link is something that looks like a hyperlink but not preceded directly by a square or angle bracket and not after a question mark followed by zero or more no-whitespace-characters.

Best,
