[nul] appended if link texts end with special character

[MasinAlDujaili]

If link texts end in special letters like äöüß and probably áéíóú etc. Wikka appends a [nul] character.

With a normal Wikka out of the box like the demo installation it looks like this with Opera:

IE and FF ignore this [nul].

The source code view in Opera:  http://gio.larp-bb.de/res/MasinAlDujaili/sourcecode_view_opera.png

Opera cannot display the source code beyond this position of the [nul].

In my editor, the character is displayed clearly as [nul]:  http://gio.larp-bb.de/res/MasinAlDujaili/sourcecode_view_notepadplusplus.png

Then the saved HTML code delivered by Wikka:  http://gio.larp-bb.de/res/MasinAlDujaili/SandBox.htm

And at last, a check if it's not just Opera and links ending with such characters:  http://gio.larp-bb.de/res/MasinAlDujaili/strange_and_normal_link.png

In the last screenshot, I embedded the corresponding HTML markup.

I'm unable to reproduce this, and links here are now broken.

Are you sure you use iso-8859-1 as page encoding?

Have a look at  http://wikkawiki.org/MasinAlDujaili for a bug demonstration. I can reproduce this bug with any Wikka Wakka Wiki version up to 1.1.6.2. Whatever you did in 1.1.6.3, the bug ceases to exist. It might have something to do with your new function hsc_secure, that replaced html_specialchar thingie function :-)

PS: You might as well close this ticket then.

I close this ticket as workforme, unless DotMG has some further comments on what addressed the issue.

Masin, FYI I've opened  http://wikkawiki.org/MasinAlDujaili with Opera 8.5 for Mac and I don't see anything wrong.

I checked with Firefox. FF on Linux shows a question mark in a diamond shape at the position in question, obviously the symbol for an unknown character. But as it is corrected in 1.1.6.3, everything's fine with me. Thank you nonetheless.
