Detail

The right-hand side of a double-bracket link should always be treated as literal text. However, in some circumstances, WikiWords on the right-hand side of the double brackets are expanded. When the code that includes those WikiWords has been INCLUDEd from another web, the expansion includes the (wrong) web name!

Example (How I found this)

All webs are including their WebLeftBar topic from Shared/WebLeftBar. The content of Vicki/WebLeftBar is:

   %INCLUDE{"Shared.WebLeftBar"}%

Depending on how the content of Shared/WebLeftBar is written, we get different results, including one very unexpected possibility.

Option 1

If Shared/WebLeftBar contains:

[[%INCLUDINGWEB%.TopicTree][Topic Tree]]

We get:

In Shared Web

In Including web (Vicki web)

Item7254_ScreenShot_Example1b.png

Option 2

If Shared/WebLeftBar contains only a WikiWord within the brackets:

[[%INCLUDINGWEB%.TopicTree][TopicTree]]

We get:

In Shared Web

Item7254_ScreenShot_Example2a.png

In Including web (Vicki web)

Item7254_ScreenShot_Example2b.png

Option 3

But If Shared/WebLeftBar contains additional text as well as a WikiWord within the brackets:

[[%INCLUDINGWEB%.TopicTree][My TopicTree]]

We get:

In Shared Web

Item7254_ScreenShot_Example3a.png

In Including web (Vicki web)
