Description

A wiki link goes like this:

![[TargetPage|Label]]

An external link goes like this:

!"Label":http://www.example.com

Having two different syntaxes is bad. Having the ordering reversed in one of them is worse.

I propose the following fix:

  • Make the [[]]-syntax support external links, so we can write:
    [[http://foobar.com|Label]] (note: i found no way to protect the link from parsing)

This would be backwards compatible (the old syntax doesn't need to change or go away).
