Feature Request: allow [wikilink] to work without empty trailing parens

kyanha opened this issue · 2 comments

I would like to be able to create wikilinks with bare [pagename], without the trailing parentheses. This would match my users' expectations from other wiki software. Is this potentially controllable via a parameter to the Markdown renderer? If so, it might be very easy to enable. If not, I'll have to ask at the renderer's issue tracker.

(For context, my users program in C# and Java, and they have complained that [wikilink]() feels too much like writing a method call.)

There's an open issue for pandoc
jgm/pandoc#2923
that would add [[this sort]] of syntax.
When that is resolved, gitit could use it too.
