    Cross reference http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/46969

    Elsewhere I read:

    > a problem of the open source ruby on rails, which is being
    > corrected by that development community.

    Please: does anyone have a reference for the ROR bug?

    Speeding through searches of https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets at a glance I found nothing resembling a bug in this area.

    In irc://irc.freenode.net/#RubyOnRails conversation was as follows:



    — "just gsub them out".

    * makes explicit a recommendation to use angle brackets

    * does not mention parentheses (but in practice, we find occasional use).

    The text exemplified in the standard is broken in Diigo:

    Yes, Jim, I found it under "http://www.w3.org/Addressing/", but you can probably pick it up from . Note the warning in .

    Specifically:

    * two of three URI references are lost (broken)

    * one of three is unbroken, but not presented as a hyperlink.

    bump diddly-ump-ump, ump-ump

    It would REALLY help to have the forum not breaking URLs.

    Supporting < > angle brackets may be the most effective way of avoiding breakage of properly enclosed URLs.

    Thanks, yours hopefully …

    Broken URL at http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/1051061#1 could have been avoided if angle brackets were supported.

    Bugged: hyperlink within sticky note at http://diigo.com/0bw9e is broken.

    Support for angle bracket enclosures would prevent this type of breakage.

    When I paste http://forum.immunet.com/index.php?/topic/282-spero-more-information/ to a sticky note the hyperlink breaks.

    When I paste the same URL in angle brackets, the whole thing disappears.

    Please, can you add support for angle brackets?
