Reported by Greg Moreno | November 3rd, 2008 @ 05:35 PM | in 4.1.9
in: "textile":http://www.domain.com/123-alpha_3_(wiki)
result: <p><a href="http://www.domain.com/123-alpha_3_(wiki">textile</a>)</p>
Please note there is a parenthesis after 'wiki' in the input but it gets removed from the URL in the result.

Nevermind. RedCloth doc says that link should be surrounded by brackets in cases like this.

Glad you figured it out, Greg. Your case adds weight to Ryan Alyea's assertion:
Is there a better way to support parenthesis in links like Wikipedia links? Requiring brackets around the link is confusing to many new users who don't understand why their Wikipedia links won't work. I wrote a patch on the latest version of RedCloth to support this a lot better. Instead of stopping on a end parenthesis, it instead looks at the URL itself. If the number of opening and closing parenthesis are equal, it allows the end parenthesis in the link. I'm sure there's a better way, like checking if they are properly nested.
Best of all, he included a patch! Hopefully it'll work out and you won't have to use brackets.
