trac-links are truncated

[Peter Johansson]

messages in recent log is truncated. The truncation is done before the Trac class parses for trac-links. This is bad because the links becomes incorrect. See revision revision at

Trancation must be done afterwards. Optimally anchors should be truncated but only the visible part...

[Peter Johansson]

I have come up with three solutions to this issue. If the entire anchor does not fit

• truncate after the anchor: some message ​example...

• truncate in the visible part of the anchor: some message ​exam...

• truncate before the anchor: some message ...

If you have an opinion on which you think is the best way, speak up!

How are the log lines truncated now? After a constant number of characters? i am speaking even though I have no real opinion. What is the easiest solution? I like the second example. Either way you can always klick on the revision link and get the full log message.

At the time being it is done as follows: First the html code is generated and then the truncation is done, i.e., we cutoff in the middle of the anchor.

The different options would be implemented in smimilar ways so there is no real difference in sense of easy/difficult.
