Using switches to output named links doesn't work.

[williamjcm]

As I was working on setting up WST for my wiki, I wanted to use a ParserFunctions switch in one template to generate named links based on the value passed to the template, like this:

{{#switch: {{{1}}}
 | case1 = [[:page1|Page 1]]
 | case2 = [[:page2|Page 2]]
 | unknown value
#}}

However, links get rendered as if I wrapped them in <nowiki>/</nowiki>. Is there any workaround, or is this plugin just unsuitable for my use case ?

Try escape sequences, as explained here:

• use { for {
• use } for }

So {{{1}}} must be: {{{ 1 }}}

The documentation doesn't mention that part, though, and states WST arguments can be used as-is, without escaping the curly braces.

True, forgot that.

To be honest, i don't use DokuWiki anymore, so i don't remember many things.
