Question

Suggestion 870 Missing named Inline citations seems to enforce a very strict interpretation of mark up, requiring no spaces around the = sign in ref tags.

<ref name="ABCD"> ... </ref>
followed later by
<ref name = "ABCD"/>
generates the suggestion, and removing the spaces around = deals with it, but this seems overly strict as their presence makes no difference to the display of the reference. Whitespace like this is allowed in html tags.

Answer 1

Can you provide an example profile?

As I remember, what you described shouldn't produce a suggestion.

I checked the sources and I had an error in regex definition. Spaces were allowed after the equal sign, but not before.

It is fixed now. 

It resulted in changes of suggestions some other suggestions.

• 969 Duplicated named Inline citations (887 more suggestions)
• 970 Missing named Inline citations (411 suggestions less)
• 971 Use of angled double quotes in name of citation (Number is the same, just the info column is more correct)

Changes will be visible next week.
