Hi all,

I have a ticket query as follows

[[TicketQuery(status=new,order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=summary|owner|description)]]

Now, the description of these tickets contains Wikiformatting which isn't being rendered. If the description is put on a new row then it does come up with the formatting. Is it possible for the wikiformatting to be rendered when the description is in a column?

It does not appear to be currently supported. Here is the relevant source:

http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/trac/ticket/templates/query_results.html?marks=77-86,91,101#L65

So you'd have to submit an enhancement request. Here is a patch against r11100 of the Trac trunk which I think does the job. It has been very lightly tested ;)

Btw, in terms of a patch, I could see two ways of dealing with this:

Just always format the Description column as wiki, which I think makes sense, and this is what the one-line patch does.

Allow for an explicit specification of columns that should be wiki-formatted. For example, add a `wikicol` option:

[[TicketQuery(status=new,order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=summary|owner, wikicol=description)]]
