From the source of [[usage]]: joey@ikiwiki.info Text::Markdown obfuscates email addresses in the href= attribute and in the text. Apparently this can't be configured. HTML::Scrubber doesn't set `attr_encoded` for its HTML::Parser, so the href= attribtute is decoded. Currently it seems it doesn't set `attr_encoded` for good reason: so attributes can be sanitized easily, e.g. as in htmlscrubber with `$safe_url_regexp`. This apparently can't be configured either. So I can't see an obvious solution to this. Perhaps improvements to Text::Markdown or HTML::Scrubber can allow a fix. One question is: how useful is email obfuscation? Don't spammers use HTML parsers? > I now see this was noted in the formatting [[/ikiwiki/formatting/discussion]], and won't/can't be fixed. > So I guess this is [[done]]. --Gabriel I've [[patch]]ed mdwn.pm to prevent Text::Markdown from obfuscating the emails.
