Dear dokuwiki users!
Recently I have discovered the following fact:
- By syntax definition, footnote starts with first occurrence of
double
opening bracket '(('
- footnote also ends with first occurrence of closing double bracket
'))'
<snip>
I personally think, that closing brackets should be greedy and that
solves (1) but makes (2) a problem unless you trick with a space.
I wonder, if there any universal solution?
This has been discussed previously. Its a six of one and half dozen
of the other thing. There is no "better" way. The only good way is
to put a space between your intended parenthesis and your closing
footnote token.
To change the behaviour now, isn't a good idea - it will break any
existing page that happens to rely on the current regexp.
