Or even: [repo:/path/to/file.ext] Comment [comment] (no need for # -- this currently works as well, because everything after the first ']' is ignored) I think ']]' would be the best choice, but still not 100% backwards compatible. But I mean, who in their right mind would write sections like this: [repo:/path/to/file.ext]]haha, this isn't parsed :-) (ok, maybe in some cases as a typo, which is currently ignored and which would then cause a behavior change) -- Johan
