AltostratusNotepad++ help implementation, is it a way to convert "::" to "__" in help page URLs
Hi guys,
Currently I am trying to make Notepad++ more iRules friendly. I am done with proper syntax highlighting and basic autocomplete.
Unfortunately right now I am stuck on help implementation. There is a plugin which can be used, but it replace the "word" from code directly in the link for example if you are looking for:
"HTTP::class"
becomes
https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTTP::class.ash
which obviously do not work :(.
My question is is it possible somehow to translate
from:
https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTTP::class.ash
to:
https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTTP__class.ashx
or is it here in wiki good way for example to search for "HTTP::class" and to retrieve directly https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTTP__class.ashx ?
P.S: I am not asking about Notepad++, already received answer from plugin author that this is not possible and such feature will not be implemented for now.
Thank you in advance š

Assuming that you cannot transform the text before passing it on to the plugin, I think the most sensible thing to do is use another plugin that allows you to transform the text before converting it into a link.
Other options like implementing your own redirector (on your personal webserver) that does the transformation also require at least the ability to URL-encode the text, which itself requires the ability to transform the text in the first place, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Georgi__Joe__Styea, the thing is that I want to keep it simple as possible, so only Notepad++ to be used :).
Do you know any Notepad++ plugin which can do that (I read some docs but didnt found anything :( ).
Actually will be really cool if wiki can recognize and "::" :D...
