Description

http://manchester.openguides.org/?id=The_White_Hart_Inn&version=2 shows http://www.thewhitehart.co.uk/home.asp?ID=1|0|0|0 which is a valid URL but which CGI::Wiki cannot autoformat. Also, trying to use it as the URL of a text link does not render properly.

As a workaround, you can use %7c in the URL for a pipe, and this seems to work.

as in [http://www.thewhitehart.co.uk/home.asp?ID=1%7c0%7c0%7c0 The White Hart]

Hmm. I can't think of a good way of fixing this without upsetting the wiki formatting syntax. I think we need to live with this and quote the pipes.
