Broken link: the closing parenthesis excluded from URL (causes 404)

​The link parser fails to include the closing parenthesis, so the link points to an incorrect URL.

Please include the name of the platform, because the autolinker is different on each platform. Related:

It’s even trickier than that, because Delta Chat clients can also linkify text other than that beginning with http: and https:. Notably, they usually linkify a URL having the scheme stripped, substituting http for it. As linkification is not implemented by Delta Chat itself so far, rather left for the respective platform libraries, I think this feature will be more costly to implement properly than you would think if you wanted it to work consistently across platforms.

By the way, you can percentile-encode ) as %29 or append a fragment as a workaround so that linkification could catch the end.

@kw6db4xvi I feel your friend is trolling us with his description of Australia in the global south.

hi, it is my message. I am sorry if it feels like trolling, but i don’t intend it.

@irvan-putra I did not mean you had any bad intention, I meant it more in a humorous way.
