I want to bold part of a url written in markdown.
URL: http://google.com
Intended result: http://google.com
In this example, I want to bold the word "google" inside the whole url. Here, I capitalized what I wanted to bold.
Related question: is there a way to prevent urls from turning into links?
I am processing this with a marked.js. I'm looking for something that will work in http://dillinger.io/
===== Part 2 =====
URL: http://google.com
Intended result: http://google.*com*
How do I also bold the .com part in addition to the google part?
This seems to work
[http://**example**.com](http://example.com).
Using http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus the above gives the HTML result:
http://<strong>example</strong>.com
That is exactly what you want.
I'm using markdown and jekyll, and the markdown doc says you can't have any formatting between "ticks." I even tried it with a block and the asterisks still print as characters, because you can't put spaces in a URL and the formatting requires spaces to work. Even HTML commands print as characters ().

I am trying to make an internal link to a heading called "word & word".
Since I am using Jekyll, the content is in Markdown files and the heading I want to link to looks like this:
### word & word
I know that I can not use & in URLs.
Therefore this would not be an option:
#word-&-word
I also tried:
#word-%26-word
and
#word-&-word
#word-%26amp;-word
#word-%20amp%3B-word
However, both versions are not working.
What would be the appropriat way to fix this?
Kramdown is striping non alphanumeric from header id's and replacing spaces by -.
You can just check this behavior with :
- mandatory
{:toc}
### word & word
Resulting link in generated table of content is #word--word
See kramdown documentation
Here is my problem: I add a message to ModelError with addModelError(String.Empty,”My message”).
In my view I just call #Html.ValidationSummary().
The message is in German and the characters Ö, Ä, Ü are just shown as questionmark. How do I change that?
As I see it there are two options. One option is to write a custom validation summary helper which doesn't HTML encode the messages like described in the link that Kartikeya Khosla provided. Or, and that’s what I did, Just use the Unicode reference in the message string. The solution in Kartikeya is more elegant, but in my case it is a lot of code to change two characters. By the way here a link to look them up if anybody wants to do the same:
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?utf8=oct&unicodeinhtml=dec&htmlent=1
I was wondering how I can turn a comment (such as stackoverflow.com) to a post as a URL so that when clicked, it will go straight to the website?
Thanks for your help in advance
You can pre-process your text and look for things that might be a URL. Look at this answer here: Regex to match URL.
You'd want to take your text, split it by white-space, then for each white-space-separated word, check if it's a URL. If it's a URL, then output a proper <a> tag surrounding it. If not, just output the word.
It's about Bangla Unicode texts, but can be a problem for any language other than Latin glyphs.
I'm a host of a Bangla blog with all its texts and categories in Bangla (I prefer not to say Bengali as because the name of the language is Bangla rather than Bengali).
So the category in Bangla "বাংলা" saying a URL like:
http://www.example.com/category/বাংলা
But whenever I copied the URL from address bar and put 'em into a chat panel or somewhere else, it changed with some strange characters, for example:
http://www.example.com/category/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8%E0*
* it's just an example, not the exact gibberish for the word "বাংলা")
So, in many cases I got some encoded URLs like above, from where I found no trace which Unicode text they are saying. Recently I'm getting some 404 error logged by one of my plugin. From there I found a URI like:
/category/%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0
I used the Jetpack's Omnisearch to find out any match, but the result is empty. I can't even trace which category that is— creating such a 404.
So here comes the question:
How can I transform the encoded URL to readable glyphs?
http://www.example.com/category/বাংলা
isn't a URL; URLs can only contain ASCII characters. This is an IRI.
http://www.example.com/category/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE
is the URI representation of that IRI. They are otherwise equivalent. A browser may display the ‘pretty’ IRI version in the user interface, but put the URI version on the clipboard so that you can paste it into other tools that don't support IRI.
The 404 address you pasted translates to:
/category/স্নায়ুবিদ্য�
where the last character is a � because it is an invalid, truncated UTF-8 sequence. (This is probably why the request failed.) Someone may have mis-pasted a partial URI here.
If you're using javascript you can do:
decodeURIComponent(url);
This will make sure the original language is preserved.
I'm using playframework, and I hope to generate complex urls like stackoverflow. For example, I want to generate a question's url:
http://aaa.com/questions/123456/How-to-generator-a-complex-url
Note the last part, it's the title of the question.
But I don't know how to do it.
UPDATED
In the playframework, we can define routes in conf/routes file, and what I do is:
GET /questions/{<\d+>id} Questions.show
In this way, when we call #{Questions.show(id)} in views, it will generate:
http://aaa.com/questions/123456
But how to let the generated has a title part, is difficult.
With playframework it's easy to generate such url. In your routes file you add this :
GET /questions/{id}/{title} YourController.yourMethod
See the doc in playframework site about routing for more info
In your html page :
<a href="#{YourController.yourMethod(id,title.slugify())}">
slugify method from JavaExtensions, clean your title from reserved characters (see doc)
It a server-side url rewriter does. In case of SO it doesn't matter you type {...}/questions/4698625/how-to-generate-complex-url-like-stackoverflow or {...}/questions/4698625 - they both redirects to the same content. So this postfix is used just to increase readability of a url.
To see more details about url rewriting, see this post.
UPD:
to generate such a postfix,
take a title of the content,
shrink multiple whitespaces into single
replace all whitespaces with dash (-)
remove all non-letter symbols from a title
Better to perform this operations with Regular Expressions
