In Item1307 Sven stated that he would like to have summaries with working links. This is a useful enhancement. Hence:

Add a new render token to $summary() in FormattedSearch. Documentation:

We cannot change the current spec of plain text summary since this would break some existing TWiki applications out there. Many things can go wrong if $summary suddenly returns formatted text instead of plain text, for example:

• if feeding into a form field without URL encoding the summary, user gets gibberish (there is no need to URL encode plain text summary). (Example bug Item1375, "Not URL encoded search parameter" is not a related TWiki app example, but it could well be)
• if sending inside an XML tag to another app, it breaks the DTD, and might break the app on the other side
• if a script sends a plain text e-mail with topic summary, user gets gibberish

Deferred to Edinburgh (unless already implemented / need to be enabled simply with new render token).

Please drive responsibly and safely!
