What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? `[metamod://Business::Stripe::Subscription]` -> Business::Stripe::Subscription. Update: even doing this the hard way I can't replicate the problem.`<a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Business::Stripe::Subscription">Business::Stripe::Subscription</a>` -> Business::Stripe::Subscription.

`mod://` is sufficient: Business::Stripe::Subscription	[reply] [d/l]

I get the extra LTR characters if I try to follow that link. Don't you?	[reply]

The first link you posted has the strange characters added for me, the second doesn't have them and works fine... Are they both without the strange characters for you? If so, it's something very strange my end...	[reply]

I don't know what you mean by strange characters. The first encodes the `:` as `%3A`, which is perfectly fine (and sometimes necessary). And both work.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Mind if I ask why you have those weird characters in the module name?	[reply]

Correction, Business::Stripe::Subscription looks ok on mouse over, when clicked the URL bar has `Business%3A%3AStripe%3A%3ASubscription`. Has something changed with the code related to linking?	[reply] [d/l]

`%3A` is just URL-encoded version of `:` character. The forum has done that URL encoding for me for as long as I can remember. I have never seen the LTR characters that Bod original asked about.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ah! - so it isn't just my end... Although I get the extra characters displayed on mouse over but that could be a variation of Browser. I'm using Chrome 114 on Windows 10 Pro.	[reply]

FWIW I don't see this in the releases on cpan.	[reply]

The module name is `Business::Stripe::Subscription` - the extra characters get added when I put a link in on PM...	[reply] [d/l]

I don't - they are being added somewhere...	[reply]

They're not displayed on metacpan.	[reply]
