jesse_the_k: USB jump drive pointing into my left ear (JK data in ear)

YouTube has changed its usernames to include the @-sign

DW correctly displays the YT user head when I type

[youtube.com profile] ElleCordova

But that doesn’t link to her channel, which is

https://www.youtube.com/@ElleCordova

To get around this, make the userhead version the anchor to the YT link

[youtube.com profile] ElleCordova

or

[youtube.com profile] ElleCordova

The @ shortcut explodes when a period follows the username.sitename

If @username.sitename appears at the end of a sentence, like

input: The best bug hunter is @punk.ao3.

Dreamwidth fails to expand, showing the error message [ bad username or site: punk @ AO3 ] and swallowing the period. Like this:

unescaped text, throws error that includes the period: The best bug hunter is [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.

(I formatted the input sample by surrounding the at-sign with backticks.)

Current workaround:

only the period is escaped inside backticks: the best bug hunter is [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.

Prepush workaround was to add backslash before period, which no longer works

the period is escaped by a backslash: the best bug hunter is [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.


When the full TLD is included, user head displays correctly BUT it still swallows the period.

The best bug hunter is [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.

Also known as actually [archiveofourown.org profile] punk.

That would be [twitter.com profile] runpunkrun.

Used to be [github.com profile] runpunkrun.

Other contacting punctuation doesn't trigger the bug

Why do you read [twitter.com profile] jesse_the_k? Never read [ao3.org--she profile] jesse_the_k's terrible. She never tweets at [twitter.com 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

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

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
