Can't post links that include parentheses. Please fix.
I'm trying to post this link:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String, java.text.ParsePosition)
as either a link (with ctrl-L) or directly in the post. Both ways it doesn't work.
Please fix.
see http://stackoverflow.com/editing-help
have you tried syntax?
nb: I just tested and this works fine for me using syntax.

Yeah, this is annoying. I've manually replaced the parentheses with %28 and %29 to get the links working.

Well... if Sun and Microsoft both do it, perhaps it should be addressed rather than palmed off on tinyurl?

you might have to tinyurl that one. I don't know why MSDN and Sun doc sites insist on using URLs that are so hard to autolink..

Tried it on that post. Doesn't even show up as a link.
