in reply to Re shortcut link by title

If you put the formatting outside the brackets (<em>[blazar]</em>), you get the desired effect: blazar, so I don't think it does much to discourage linking by name. Although it does discourage putting tags inside the link. :-)

Note that you could also link by name with the href tag ([href://?node=blazar|<em>blazar</em>]): blazar.

    I was about to point out alternatives myself, then avoided doing so for I wanted it to stay as simple as possible. The point not being the availability of workarounds, but the fact that appearently there's indeed an inconsistency.

    Also it's a pity that it discourages putting tags inside the links, as I may want to remark I'm blazar. ;-)
