utf8 issue in jspwiki section and ref urls

[Baráti Zoltán <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi dear developers.

   1. National characters should be supported in section names as well as
   they are in WikiPage names ( in a user readable form.) Why?
   I'd like to link to some specific section with it's url in an external
   application.
   2. Also I'd like to use links in the JSPWiki markup  which refer to a
   specific section of a WikiPage

After reading the statements above I have two questions for you.

   - Is it possible?
   - Shall I post a feature request? Would the feature request be supported
   by you guys?

Kind Regards,
Zolta,

What do you mean by "supported"?  Section names are URI identifiers,  
which means that only ASCII (minus some characters) are allowed. This  
means that they *cannot* be in an user-readable form.

We currently encode the section titles in exactly the same way as the  
pagenames, so anything which is supported in the page name is also  
supported in the section names.

That does kind of exist already (you can use [WikiPage#sectiontitle]),  
but that requires you to be aware of the encoding algorithm. So you  
might want to file an issue on that so that the stuff after the  
hashmark would also be rewritten correctly.

Patches gladly accepted :-)
