Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2015-06-11 11:54:40 EDT 
Depending on the context the ConfluenceLanguage is used, certain links may never be reachable.
As example, take Rich text fields in JIRA. If JIRA is installed stand-alone without Confluence installed alongside, relative links like [Pagename] are always broken. JIRA itself parses them but doesn't expose the links to the user but instead marks them as <span class="error"> in the rendered format.

Users of the confluence language should be capable of configuring the language to either parse those links or leave them as-is.
