   [[Foo_Bar]] links properly. So does [[mailto:address@hidden

Check these two things:

_[[Foo_Bar]] 

[[[[[[Foo_Bar][baz]]

   ... Preliminary testing seems to indicate that customizing the
   following regular expression should just Do The Right Thing.
   (Wow.)

   (defcustom emacs-wiki-extended-link-regexp
     "\\[\\[\\([^][\t\n]+\\)\\]\\(\\[\\([^][\n]+\\)\\]\\)?\\]"
     "Regexp used to match [[extended][links]]."
     :type 'regexp
     :group 'emacs-wiki)

   You'll want to set it to

     "\\[\\[\\([^][ \t\n]+\\)\\]\\(\\[\\([^][\n]+\\)\\]\\)?\\]"

   (Just add a space.)

   Wow.

   No guarantees. Try it at home first. I'm not sure if this should be
   the default, but if people like it, then I'll put it in.

I'll test it out, maybe think about it a little, & get back to you.

   $Version$ is actually sed'd into a timestamp-like thing in the .tar.gz
   . (Version: 2004.03.18-19.35) It is also sed'd into a real version in
   debs. It only stays $Version$ for the people who get individual files
   off my website and people who get it from arch. People who get it from
   arch can use tla logs to find out what version they have. People who
   get individual files from the site should probably grab the ChangeLog
   as well so that they get warned of large changes, etc.

It seems to me that it would be best to make it consistent across
the different copies of the source code!  You could probably do
something modeled on `time-stamp' to cause a version number of sorts
to be automatically generated every time you save the file.

Currently, to a casual eye, it looks like the file hasn't been
edited since 2003.

If you're making major changes to the file, I think you should
probably add a (c) 2004 <your name> to the header.

   The tables have to have the same number of columns in the same block,
   I think.

   foo | bar | baz
   foo | bar | baz
   foo | bar | baz
