Crash when wikilink in heading

[GuutBoy]

Frogmouth is great, but I noticed it crashes on markdown files if there is a wiki style link in a heading where the path starts with a /.

Example:

# Heading 1

## Heading 2 [[/test.md]]

results in error:

MarkupError: closing tag '[/test.md]' at position 21 doesn't match any open tag

This is in frogmouth 0.9.1 (Textual v0.41.0)

I would imagine there's a couple of things going on here, the main one being that frogmouth doesn't currently support any sort of wiki-style extension to Markdown files (see #21). On top of that the error itself would suggest that such a link is being seen as Rich markup (which might in turn suggest that something would need to be done in the Textual Markdown widget).

[GuutBoy]

Understandable that not all markdown extensions can be fully supported.

I wonder though if there is some way to at least make the program fail a little more gracefully so it just doesn't crash entirely.

Oh, for sure, hence:

That is, I suspect this might actually be something to first check in Textual's widget.

You are right. It seems to be a bug in Textuals Markdown Widget. I reported the bug on their issue tracker.

Awesome; thanks for raising that. I'll keep this open too for the duration.
