NonExistingWikiWordsLinkProblems < Support

Question

Normally, when a non-existent wiki word is used on a page, there is a little "?" created that links to the new topic. However, in all such situations, on my Twiki, those links now extend beyond the "?" to include large blocks (I think to the end of the paragraph) of the rest of the page. As a simple example, I have a simple test topic that looks like this:

NonExistingWikiWord followed by text that

is included in the link.  AnotherNonExistingWikiWord

<p>The next sentence is not.


%MAKETEXT{'abc'}%

This gets rendered (using the print skin and with javascript includes, etc. excluded, to keep things simple) as:

</head>

<body class="natBody natPrintBody">
<div class="natBodyContents">
  <div class="natMiddle natMain">
  <div class="natMainContents">
NonExistingWikiWord<A }%="" topic="" this="" create="" title="%MAKETEXT{" rel="nofollow" NonExistingWikiWord?topicparent="Sandbox.SpreadSheetPluginTest&quot;" Sandbox="" edit="" href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{">? followed by text that
<p />
is included in the link.  AnotherNonExistingWikiWord<A }%="" topic="" this="" create="" title="%MAKETEXT{" rel="nofollow" AnotherNonExistingWikiWord?topicparent="Sandbox.SpreadSheetPluginTest&quot;" Sandbox="" edit="" href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{">?
<p />
<p>The next sentence is not.
<p />
<p />
'abc'
<p />

  </div>
  <div class="natMainFooterContents"></div>
  </div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<!-- template: view.print.nat.tmpl -->
<!-- template: strings.nat.tmpl -->
<!-- template: javascript.nat.tmpl -->

This is very strange to me and I do not know where to begin to look for the problem.

Thanks, Sean

I answered my own question. For whatever reason, the NEWLINKFORMAT variable in my local installation in the TWikiPreferences was causing the problem. After either removing it or cleaning it up, the links are working fine.
