Item14253: WysiwygPlugin inserts extra spaces in front of square bracket links.

You edit:

"[[WebHome][This is a link]"

You get

" [[WebHome][This is a link]"

I added a unit test, but with all things HTML2TML, white space issues are a royal pain to fix. The code that handles generating squab link does not output an extra space, so it's something deeper in the conversion process.

Found a 2nd condition that also adds white space. "WebHome" - a link without link text. And I've found a fix. No other tests fail, but this is a minefield and I'm reluctant to check it in!

Note, going back using git log -L, the $WC:CHECKw has been in the code since the original import. I can't explain why it might be needed.
