Bug: Ref-By search misses link if link is the very last text

Pages with a link, where the link is the last word, are missed with the ref-by search.

Test case

I have put up a test case on OriginalTopic. One linked topic ends with a link, the other ends with a link and a dot. Only the second topic is found by the ref-by search.

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease01Feb2003

Follow up

This is probably not related to RenameScriptMissesSomeReferrers.


This feature is fairly horrible - there's a regex embedded in the templates that is not I18N safe, and it uses the spaced topic variable to try to catch WikiWord links using spaces. As a result, it also catches a lot of non-references to the topic (simply using same words spaced out, not in a spaced out link). See SpacedTopicVariable, SpacesInTopicNamesIssue and WikiWordsWithSpacesBreakPredictability.

This needs a bit of attention, but it's separate to the rename issue. Ideally both features would use some shared code but that's not the case now.
