Description mariusz_m 2012-12-08 09:36:19 UTC

The editor recognize "http://" links to open web page.
How about make it possible to open pages stored on local disc? 
I put links like this into my code:

"file:///C:/CodeSourceryG++Lite/share/doc/arm-arm-none-eabi/html/getting-started/sec-cs3-startup.html"

Comment 2 mariusz_m 2012-12-17 16:19:22 UTC

Thanks for this.
And BTW: links like this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183494(v=vs.85).aspx
are highlighted as
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183494

This link also work, but is this URL truncating correct?

Comment 3 Milutin Kristofic 2012-12-17 18:29:49 UTC

According to url specification http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/url-spec.txt

Brackets belongs to extra characters, which are allowed to url path. In current implementation we allow only comma (,) from extra characters and we don't allow @ from safe characters.
