Description
Some characters are not allowed as Tiddler titles (even though this is not stated anywhere explicitly). Nevertheless these titles can be entered.
These "invalid" characters include the vertical bar |, but also the "]". This is mainly related to the way a tiddler can be referenced through the "pretty link" syntax:
[[some tiddler title]]
If a title contains a | (like "some tiddler title with a | vertical bar") this will look like
[[some tiddler title with a | vertical bar]]
making it the "second form" of the pretty link: the part before the | is taken as the label for the link and the part behind it (" vertical bar") as the tiddler title/external link. (Similar problem with a title like "the ]] in a title")
It should be possible to "escape" these chars in the pretty link to give access also to tiddlers containing these chars.
