nlp-plugin-html: Render links with ()

[waldenn]

Example article containing many such links: James Thomson

Only the links not containing parentheses are rendered correctly, the others are rendered as plain text.

There could be some additional characters which also that prevent links from rendering, but parentheses are quite common in wiki titles as a disambiguation method.

ah, good find.
will take a look next week. Code is here if anyone wants to do a pr

[spencermountain]

ah, just took a look - it's that a \b wildcard doesn't like being beside the parentheses.
We may need to swap the \b in ./_lib/smartReplace.js with something like this:

(?<!\w)\(jadad\)(?!\w)

these look-beind regexes are not very-well supported yet.

Thanks, pity "look-behind" is still not supported both on Firefox and Safari. Maybe there are other ways of handling this bug in a special-case regexp replace function when parentheses are encountered? Have not looked at the code yet though.
