in reply to New Monks Info Page

the first five links seem to be written in the form

[[node]]
which parses assymetrically and ends up being
<LINK>(literal [)NODE</LINK>(literal ])
which, by some miracle, actually works as a link (because the engine removes the [ from the node name before searching); but it still looks silly.

update: bizrrely, if you got to "comment on this node" that problem goes away. maybe it is an engine problem, after all. we shall pray to the patron saint of local undocumented features for guidance in this matter.

    As you note they were written: [ [ node ] ] Have changed to | format to avoid problems, which is consistent with the top format but not the [Reply]. It seemed to work fine for me. I presumed it would parse \[ [node] \] but have never looked to see.
