Topic on Extension talk:SyntaxHighlight

Hello,

Is there any way that a <syntaxhighlight>ABC</syntaxhighlight> segement could produce a link to an external site passing the code via GET? I.e. could the <syntaxhighlight server="myserver?Q=">ABC</syntaxhighlight> also produce a link myserver?Q=urlencode:ABC ?

The OSM wiki is trying to do this here with templates: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:OverpassTurboExample, but the problem is that this only works if "ABC" is (wiki-)escaped, which is somewhat limiting. Ideally the unescaped ABC would be passed to <syntaxhighlight>, and syntaxhighlight could generate the link.

Thanks!

I did not fully undestand your plan, but I answered on Help talk:Magic words.

TL;DR: {{#tag:}}

Many thanks!
