Hi All
Please note that a space as a *sortkey*, as in [[Category:Foo| ]], is usable,
and actually used; it is much the same as using * or ! as a sort key: moves the
entry for the page to the top of the category. Some people prefer a space for
that, because it does not create a heading in the category listing (well,
actually, it does create an empty h3 tag). Though i can't tell you how often
it's actually used.
Anyway, treating [[Category:Foo| ]] just like [[Category:Foo|]], i.e. turning it
into [[Category:Foo|Foo]], would break things.
Cool, thanks for the tip. For the purposes of my grammar, I actually
treat [[internal links]], [[image:foo.jpg|images]] and
[[category:foo|categories]] as three totally separate, unrelated
things. Mostly because of the parameters:
[[foo|caption|these|are|not|parameters]].
Speaking of the grammar, it's going good now. Had some major dramas
with ANTLR, but we're on speaking terms again. :) It covers all
features except tables, categories (which I'm about to get onto) and
magic words like __TOC__. It parses

for a slight bug in headings.
