using site_url in links

I’m having trouble with txp:site_url in links. TextPattern somehow gets confused and escapes the end “> characters of the anchor, which destroys the link and all content thereafter.

It doesn’t happen all the time but I’m having trouble narrowing it down. When I copy a link from my footer form (where it works fine) into the content area of an article, for example, it comes out mangled.

For example:

<a href="<txp:site_url/>donate">Make a donation</a>

is rendered

<p><a href="http://globalpeopleproject.net/txptest/donate&#8221;&gt;Make a donation</a></p>

and subsequently destroys the entire page.

I’ve also tried:

"Make a donation":<txp:site_url />donate

but that just write the line out as normal text.

What should I do to use site_url in an article?

Thanks in advance!

Re: using site_url in links

Try ==<a href="<txp:site_url/>donate">Make a donation</a>==

Surrounding items with double equal signs disables textile for that item.

Re: using site_url in links

Danke Uli!

It works a treat. A little counter-intuitive but I guess the various opening and closing brackets were confusing the Textile engine.

Thanks for the super-fast response.
