Textpattern tags in link descriptions?
On one site I’m working on, I have several links saved with txp: tags in the link descriptions. I’m not clear whether this is supposed to work or not—it does, but only if you include the attribute escape="" in the @<txp:link_description /> tag. And it doesn’t work at all on error pages.
This:
<txp:link_description />returns the text of the tag escaped into HTML entities (which makes sense, but isn’t quite intuitive). This:
<txp:link_description escape=""/>parses the tags in the link description and returns the output—unless you’re on an error page, in which case the tags are left unparsed and sent to the browser as-is—where they’re ignored.
Using PHP to explicitly parse the tag works in all cases that I’ve found:
<txp:php>
echo parse(link_description(array('escape' => '')));
</txp:php>So, is <txp:link_description /> supposed to parse any tags in the description? Why doesn’t it on 404 pages?
