Note Submitter: seanNOSPAM at vine NOSPACE press DOT com ---- Be aware that these "activate links" expressions (I haven't tried them all) tend to mangle fully formed hyperlinks. I.e., a user nicely hotlinks a word w/ a href= and you come through w/ a function to activate links and pow, the link is all garbled (although it should still work). I think the best solution would be to activate all links that aren't immediately preceded w/ a quote, but I'm not good w/ regex, so for now I'm taking the opposite approach: Require some kind of trigger for the activate link function. E.g., rather than look for http, www, etc., look for ~http, ~www, or some such thing. I haven't thought through what the best character might be.
