I need to write in my gitlab project wiki page a code block that contains square brackets. Unfortunately the square brackets are turn into a link.
I assume gitlab is using markdown language or the gfm flavor.
This is my code:
```javascript
"{bla, """", [[foo],[]]}"
```
The foo],[ part is turn into a link. So basicaly I need a way to write a square brackets tah are not treated as a link. Surprisingly google doesn't provide any answer for such a trivial issue.
The current answer is that you can't do this. It is a know bug in GitLab, specifically in Wiki pages. GitLab markdown correctly handles square brackets in comments, and code blocks entered in issues, but NOT in wiki pages.
Please add your vote (thumbs up) on the issue to try and get it resolved:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/18725
Your (not very appealing) options boil down to these:
Use a single line code entry `"{bla, """", [[foo],[]]}"`
Use another syntax in your code block (e.g. {{), and include a note outside the code block saying to replace {{ with [[, etc - Note that you can use double brackets inside single quote blocks in GitLab Markdown.
Use a screenshot of your code.
None of these are very nice solutions, but all you have at the moment.

Editor : Sublime Text 3
Does anyone knows what is that red highlight in the image above?
PHP error? editor(Sublime) error? or something else?
I'm working on a PHP project.
This is a known bug in the way Sublime Text currently highlights & characters that are part of a URL. See https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/issues/428 for a discussion about it.
Basically, the problem is that, in HTML, & characters can't normally be used on their own, they are supposed to begin a reference to an "entity"/character. In HTML & is represented by & which stands for "ampersand", the name of this character. However, as per the above discussion, it seems to be valid in some circumstances inside URLs.
There are a couple of ways to "fix" the problem yourself.
One would be to modify your color scheme to not highlight scope invalid.illegal.bad-ampersand.html, but this would affect legitimate invalid uses.
Another would be to override the HTML syntax definition that ST uses to not mark the ampersand as invalid when inside a href etc. (this is the offending line.)
Probably the easiest solution is just to use & in place of & in your hrefs for now.
I am turning to use Sublime3 instead of Notepad++. I have some concern when working with Perl/PHP or any kind of languages that use dollar sign for declare variable.
Here is an example, in Notepad ++:
As can be seen, "HELO $name" was displayed with different colors.
By that way, we can easily recognize there is a variable in the string.
In Sublime 3 , it looked like this:
So you can see there are no different between text and variable. It would caused confusion in some case.
May I know is there are any solution for this ?
Thank you and best regards.

This is self-promoting, but it will actually solve the problem
You may want to check out my Neon Color Scheme, available via Package Control. Its goal is to make as many languages as possible look as good as possible, and has hundreds of selectors that are specific for many different syntaxes, including Perl and PHP. Specifically, both languages support highlighting for string interpolation. Here is your code using Sublime's Perl syntax from dev build 3118, which should be very similar to the latest public build, which you should be using if you're not registered yet:
And here is the equivalent code in PHP:
Please note that these images were taken using a work-in-progress version of Neon, which I'm planning on releasing in the next day or so. The current version should look the same, as I don't think I've edited any of these scopes, but if not just let me know and I'll point you to the dev version.
I found the grammar error "it's" as a possessive on one page of a large project. I'm trying to search for any other usages of this on pages to correct it, but I'm getting results containing hundreds of comments. I just want to filter for the important user-facing portions of the project. Is there a way to exclude comments from the results of a global search?
In more recent versions, at least in PyCharm 2018 (similar to IntelliJ), there is a filter option "Except comments," as shown here:
(Click the small filter icon to show the dropdown.)
Note: The selected filter option persists during a session, and the active filter option is not immediately apparent unless you open the dropdown. To prevent accidentally limiting subsequent searches, it may be a good idea to switch back to "Anywhere" afterward.
Another approach would be to enable the "Regular expression" (or "Regex") checkbox in the search dialog, then use some kind of negative lookaround to exclude comments.
In one case, I needed to exclude lines with single-line comments (e.g. # this is a comment) from a search, but not lines with inline comments (e.g. a=b+1 # this is an inline comment). The following did the trick, searching for something (for Python comments, starting with #):
^((?!#).)*something.*$
Please note I'm not a regex-expert, so this regex pattern can probably be improved upon greatly, but it illustrates the idea. You can play around with this on regex101. Any comments to improve the pattern are most welcome, of course.
Note sure if this approach could be extended to multiline comments though. (as in """ several lines here """).
It's difficult to suggest something without really looking at the code, but since it seems like a one-off thing, I would use global search just in comments to temporary replace "it's" with some #temporary-token#, then use global search everywhere, you should everything what's left. Then rollback temporary token for comments. Should be easy to try with VCS. Just an idea.
As you can see, with "Comments only" option, only one #token is found.
This is very simple question but I unfortunately didn't get any clue to get rid from this error. I am writing a blog post about jquery ajax where I need to write a symbol $. I am using Mathjax for writing mathematical notation. As I write $ (for example $.getJSON), the Mathjax library decodes this as LaTeX commands. Anybody knows how to skip that $ character so that MathJax library behaves it as normal $?
By default, MathJax does not use the single dollar as a delimiter for in-line math (for exactly the reason you indicate), and so your configuration must be explicitly enabling it. See the text2jax dpcumentation for details of how this is done.
You have several options:
Remove the configuration that turns on dollar signs for in-line math. (This won't be good if you have already used them for in-line math in other posts)
Enable the processEscapes option so that you can use \$ to get a dollar without it being used as a math delimiter
If your blog allows you to enter raw HTML, you could use <span>$</span> to prevent MathJax from using the dollar as a delimiter (math can't contain HTML tags, so this dollar will not match up with another one, so won't be used as a delimiter).
Put your code examples inside <pre> or <code> containers, as MathJax (at least by default) doesn't process math within these. Your configuration may have changed that, however, so check the skipTags setting in your configuration.
Any of these should allow you to do what you need.
This is related to my previous question -" Manipulate the output of <xsl:apply-templates>".
I want to ask about the specific problem I am looking to address.
How do I replace quotes in XSLT with their HTML entities. I want to eventually pass it to Javascript variable with special characters escaped.
You may want to have a look at the Google code project xml2json-xslt, especially the xml2js.xslt template. Perhaps your answer lies in there.
