Description
Currently there is no way to enter a macro argument including e.g. comma (,), which is always treated as an argument separator - see source:trunk/lib/redmine/wiki_formatting/macros.rb#L41. This effectively prevents using e.g. the thumbnail macro for some images when renaming attachments is not an option. We'll be happy to submit a patch once there is some agreement on how to approach this.
- Allow double quotes for argument value delimiting.
- No quotes = old behavior.
- Special characters within quotes can be encoded as HTML entities (similarly to
name="value"HTML element attributes).
Makes sense?
Rationale:!turns off Redmine-interpreted text formatting constructs - but probably not suitable within the constructs.- Text formatting docs say e.g. double quotes can be used when version name contains spaces
- Users tend to use double quotes anyway, e.g.
{{thumbnail(foo.jpg, title="Foo Bar")}}and they hardly realize that the quotes actually become part of the argument value. - When I have a version called
My "Version", I can refer to it asversion:"My "Version""within Textile. Does not work with Markdown though.

This is a regular issue for me when using {{collapse(some descriptive text). I often want to use commas in the descriptive text, but Redmine will cut off any text after the first comma because it believes it to be an argument separator.
