Velocity Renderer: rendering of links to resources with URL of the form .../-

[bwmcbride]

Property values that are resources with URLs of the form http://example.com/foo/bar/- are rendered on the page as an empty <a> element.

This is a problem in the EPO site where we have resources with URLs of that form.

The render should put some text inside the anchor element, e.g.

<a href='...'>-</a>.

In discussion with @bwmcbride, my proposal is that we use the previous path segment for URIs that end with a hyphen character:

<a href='http://example.com/foo/bar/-'>bar/-</a>

@bwmcbride I've committed a fix for this in the issue-197 branch if you can please try it.

I would also note that:

• it would be better for those resources to have a meaningful rdfs:label, which will be used preferentially to any treatment of the URI
• you can customise the rendering of a resource for any given deployment of Elda by overriding the Velocity template resource-links.vm
