[Solved] Possible file_download_link issue
TXP-dev latest, PHP 8.3.*
Create an article and add a reference to a (downloadable) file:
test 1
Some text: <txp:file_download_link id="1" />This works correctly, it outputs a plain text path to a file with id=1: http://txpdev.local/index.php?s=file_download&id=1
test 2
Testing something: <txp:file_download_link id="1">
<txp:file_download_name />
[<txp:file_download_size format="mb" decimals="2" />]
</txp:file_download_link>This docs example too works correctly, it outputs a link to the downloadable file: <a href="http://txpdev.local/index.php?s=file_download&id=1">name of file […]
Test 3
View or download <a href="<txp:file_download_link id="1" />">the file</a> end test.This fails or goes bonkers. Parsing errors at the closing "" in id="1": the closing quote is converted to a curly closing ” (U+201D) and the link eats every thing after it, until the next tag with some attributes. Output:
<a href="http://txpdev.local/index.php?s=file_download&id=1“>the file</a> end test</p>
<p>Another line for testing.</p>If I wrap that link in an inline notextile modifier (==) then it works fine.
Bug, weakness or misunderstanding on my part?

I would not look any further, it must be Textile at work. I guess the result would be the same for any tag:
View or download <a href="<txp:variable name="test" />">the file</a>first results in
<p>View or download <a href="<txp:variable name="test" />«>the file</a></p>and then <txp:variable name="test" /> is processed.
Textile leaves proper XML tags alone, but these ‘imbricated’ txp constructions do not respect XML syntax.

Ok, I see; thanks.
I guess that was a case of over enthusiastic expectation… notextile. works fine.
PS. I don’t even have a real use case for that particular construct atm.
