The problem with autoformatting, as I understand it, is that it's incompatible with standard HTML. In other words, to get autoformatting of links, you'd have to give up bolds and italics.
Nah. The text is already autoformatted in that carriage returns are turned into line breaks. There shouldn't be any technical problem. You could distinguish between existing anchor tags and "bare" links fairly easily, unless there's some seriously weird parsing going on here. PHP has Perl-based regexps, doesn't it?
And really, is it so hard to cut and paste an unlinked URL into your browser's address bar?
Like I say, it's not for me. But it would save an awful lot of moderator time. I don't know about you but I get loads of modify post requests for exactly this. |
