[archiveofourown.org profile] user italic

bold [archiveofourown.org profile] user

[archiveofourown.org profile] user bold

testing three other shortcut combos )

jesse_the_k: text: Be kinder than need be: everyone is fighting some kind of battle (Default)
[personal profile] jesse_the_k

Periods that follow [sitename.tld profile] user or [Bad username or site: user @ sitename] disappear

In two cases a following period disappears

  • fully qualified with user.sitename.tld
  • when tld is assumed user.sitename
user.sitename.tld
  • period [archiveofourown.org profile] user.
  • backslash period [archiveofourown.org profile] user.
  • paren ([archiveofourown.org profile] user)
  • hyphen -[Bad username or site: user @ archiveofourown.org-]
  • bang [archiveofourown.org profile] user!
  • question [archiveofourown.org profile] user?
  • slash period [archiveofourown.org profile] user/.
  • backslash period [archiveofourown.org profile] user.
user.abbrev.tld
  • period [archiveofourown.org profile] user.
  • backslash period [archiveofourown.org profile] user.
  • paren ([archiveofourown.org profile] user)
  • hyphen -[Bad username or site: user @ ao3.org-]
  • bang [archiveofourown.org profile] user!
  • question [archiveofourown.org profile] user?
  • slash period [archiveofourown.org profile] user/.
  • backslash period [archiveofourown.org profile] user.

Only in Markdown, backslash before period escapes the error

[personal profile] jesse_the_k

As of 8 May 2020, this bug seems to be fixed! HOORAY

markdown CODE format explodes shortcuts into visible HTML code

code follows @user.archiveofourown.org @user.archiveofourown.org end of code

code @user.archiveofourown.org @user.archiveofourown.org code code @user.archiveofourown.org @user.archiveofourown.org code

Code block @user.archiveofourown.org block block @user.archiveofourown.org @user.archiveofourown.org block block @user.archiveofourown.org

Code inside structure

  1. code follows @user.archiveofourown.org
  2. @user.archiveofourown.org end of code
  3. code follows @user.archiveofourown.org
  4. @user.archiveofourown.org end of code

live samples of other three shortcut styles )

jesse_the_k: text: Be kinder than need be: everyone is fighting some kind of battle (Default)
[personal profile] jesse_the_k

Shortcut doesn’t expand for user.site or user.abbrev

In two cases the period appears BUT the shortcut prints in body font instead of expanding

  • abbreviation with tld user.abbrev.tld
  • just abbreviation user.abbrev

ESCAPING THE PERIOD WITH BACKSLASH makes it print ONLY IN MARKDOWN not in text/html
