It's a question of regex pattern for ereg_replace(); Here is what I did: <? $pat = "<a href=\"#([^\"]+)\">([^><]+)</a>"; $content = ereg_replace($pat, "{link | #\\1}\\2{/link}", $content); ?> It will replace both of links as expected: {link | #overview}Overview{/link} | {link | #obu}The OBU Standard{/link} Hope this helps. :) -- Pavel a.k.a.
