Description

Some time this year, I think in July or August, the links to Moodle docs stopped coming as links in forum posts. That is instead of

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Developer_meeting_November_2008

I am getting only

[[ Developer meeting November 2008 ]]

My settings make Moodle send mail as plain text, so it seems that these emails are not run through the link filter or something does not work right. No idea about the HTML mails.

Issue Links

This issue has a non-specific relationship to:
MDLSITE-343 New filter for moodle.org to easily make links to the docs Minor Closed

If I'm not wrong, text email use the specialised format_text_email() function that doesn't apply filters (any) at all. And not sure if we can add such filter process easily (we would need to apply filters and then trim down results again to plain text). And some filters add complex html, not only links but objects, images, scripts ...

May be I got it wrong. May be there is a new filter on the forums that picks the references to docs using the square bracket notation and converts them to links online but does not do that in email. The docs links were probably given explicitly before.

In the meantime, I discovered that if I got to docs home page and paste the text from the square brackets into the search box, I am taken to the page I want. Not a single convenient click but I guess it is my fault that I use plain text mail.

Darn, I just noticed that there is an issue linked to this which describes exactly that new filter. So it is indeed a new web feature.

Closing as won't fix. Filters aren't applied to text emails. Thanks for feedback. Ciao
