It seems just because the trailing "]" is used as a part of the html address too. That's been fixed in the development version along with a long list of other improvements; Konversation is now likely to do better on link detection than just about any app you might try based on our testing suite. Here's the relevant changelog excerpt:
* Detection of URLs and email addresses in chat text views to turn them into
clickable links has been much improved. An incomplete overview of notable
cases:
- Unicode characters in URLs are now handled properly, enabling support
for example for international domain names.
- Protocol-less links not starting in "www.", such as the short URLs pop-
ular these days ("bit.ly/foo" and similar), are now recognized.
- Arbitrary protocols (e.g. "http://" or "message://") are now recognized;
previously only a small hand-picked and insufficient set was.
- The check that avoids balanced a pair of parenthesis around an URL be-
coming part of the link now works for more than one level of balanced
parenthesis.
- Aside from balanced pairs of parenthesis, also square and other forms
of brackets are now handled properly.
- Trailing question marks no longer become part of the link.
- URLs using uncommon schemas, e.g. Apple message:// URLs or Wolfram
Alpha URLs, are now handled properly.
- Numerous improvements to email link handling: User names containing the
plus sign are now handled correctly, opening email links from the URL
Catcher works now and others.
- The URL detection for the "Open URL" sub-menu in the list entry context
menu in Channel List tabs now uses the same infrastructure as link detec-
tion elsewhere rather than separate code, making it massively better com-
pared to previous versions.
- Average spreed of link detection has improved slightly.
Good news - how frequently a new version is released ? That varies depending on developer time. Right now we're toward the end of the release cycle so hopefully it won't be long. |
