[pmwiki-users] pagelist format and $LinkPageCreateFmt

[Hans]

Perhaps it is easier by looking at it from a different angle:

A custom markup would be useful, which is a modification of the
general link markup [[target | text ]] and feeds a custom $LinkFmt to
the MakeLink function. The custom $LinkFmt is simply the same as
$LinkPageExistsFmt, which passes on any parameters as part of the page
name. The result is a link which regardless of the existence or
non-existence of a page simply links to that page.

I wonder if this would find some wider use.
I would use it in pagelist format templates for links to blog comments.

Here is a first attempt:

## [[[target | text]]]
$LinkPageNoEditFmt = "<a class='wikilink' href='\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>";
Markup('[[[|','>[[',
  "/(?>\\[\\[\\[([^|\\]]*)\\|\\s*)(.*?)\\s*\\]\\]\\]($SuffixPattern)/e",
  "Keep(MakeLink(\$pagename,PSS('$1'),PSS('$2'),'$3',$LinkPageNoEditFmt),'L')");

but the third closing bracket appears in the page after"text".
This works though: [[[target | text]]

Is there a better syntax?
