#569: strings with more than one URL in them mis-parsed ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: EricKow | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- It appears that strings with more than one URL in them are parsed incorrectly. For example, {{{ See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API and http://haskell.forkio.com/ }}} gets treated as though there was only one URL. I get the impression that there's some kind of greedy matching going on, like a "<.*>" in regexp terms. This manifests as funny looking output on hackage, eg. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/mediawiki -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/569 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
