The links in the migrated inline comments should lead to the annotated text

[claudiuion117]

Currently, when migrating inline comments from Confluence, they are migrated as regular comments (not annotations). In these regular comments, the structure is:

• a "false link" which corresponds to the annotated text
  • the text is displayed as a link
  • usually, it redirects to server/path-to-the-page/#IDno
  • in XWiki, the #example at the end of a link is usually searching for a section (header) called "example" in the current page
  • since there are no sections named exactly "IDno", the redirect does nothing
• the inline comment

What could be improved is either:

• these links become real links: clicking on them should redirect to the annotated text inside the page. This is possible at the moment only by manually editing the XWikiComments objects, which could be time consuming;
• migrate the inline comments as annotations
• any other ideas?

@claudiuion117 do you happen to have a Confluence export to reproduce this issue?

This can be reproduced with the annotations test package of confluence-xml.

I don't think this is a bug of the confluence migrator. The migrator correctly migrated inline comment as annotations, which are regular comments with the "Selection" XWikiComments field set.

This is likely a product issue, to be reported on jira.xwiki.org.

I will close this as not planned.
