Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/1164/ Reported by: djbarrett Created on: 2010-04-12 18:33:11 Subject: weblinkchecker should ignore URLs inside some tags, part 2 Assigned to: xqt Original description: This is a followup to [pywikipediabot-Bugs-1969051] "weblinkchecker should ignore URLs inside some tags"

The fix in pyrev:8076 by xqt is appreciated, but not an appropriate solution. The particular tag I listed in the ticket, "<sql>", was just an example. The fix by xqt simply hard-coded this example (bogus) tag into the Pywikipedia source code:

svn diff -c8076 http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia

A better fix would be to recognize when you are reading a tag attribute:

<AnyTagGoesHere ... attr='http://whatever%5C' ...>

{{AnyTemplateOrParserFunction | attr=http://whatever

and ignore the URL in these situations.
