In general, you can't use syntax tables to give satisfactory URL DWIM recognition. Both of these things are common: There's a web page (http://foo.bar) and There's a web page http://foo.bar/lala_(yes) The latter is very common with Wikipedia URLs. So I think for this to work with erc, I think it would make sense to separate out the URL recognition in erc from other buttons, and base it on browse-url-button-regexp instead, which has worked out these kinks and is pretty DWIM. And then you can change the syntax table to make the other, simpler buttons (for nicks etc) work. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
