Broken link syntax in APT
-------------------------

                 Key: DOXIA-429
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-429
             Project: Maven Doxia
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Module - Apt
    Affects Versions: 1.2
            Reporter: Christian Schlichtherle
            Priority: Minor


A common cause of frustration is APT's linking feature. Consider this example: 
You want to link to an external resource without a name for the link. So you do 
write:

{{http://truezip.java.net}}

Some time later you decide you would prefer a name for the link, but you cannot 
insert {name} like so:

{{{TrueZIP User Website}http://truezip.java.net}} // BROKEN!

Rather than this, you have to reverse the order and write:

{{{http://truezip.java.net}TrueZIP User Website}}

So the URI effectively moves from {{URI}} to {{{URI}NAME}}. This is really 
annoying!

I know you can't change this without breaking compatibility. So please provide 
a new linking feature, probably something like this:

[[URI]] and [[[NAME]URI]] respectively.
