Description
_This is a _shadow issue* for Issue 50 on Google Code (from which this project was moved).
Added 2010-11-06T07:19:44.000Z by sph...@gmail.com.
Labels: Type-Defect, Priority-Medium.
Please make updates to the bug there.*
Original description
I use a project that makes use of link_patterns to automatically convert "bug NNNN" to a bug link. I would like those bug links to have their title attributes set (to the summary of the bug), but link_patterns currently only controls the href attribute.
I am attaching a patch that allows a callable value in the link_patterns to return a dict containing arbitrary attributes to add to the <a> tag.
For my specific usage example, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609736

Research direction
Start by reading the link_patterns handling in the markdown2 parser and consult the linked Google Code issue, where updates were requested. The change is complete when a callable link_patterns value can provide attributes such as title for the generated tag while retaining the link destination.
