I’m testing a new plugin I’m working on, please be patient.
|bill brown|
|pixel|
|nullgel|
|sir not-appearing-in-this-film|
This plugin works by looking in the post content for bits of text between |’s (vertical bars), then checking to see if that text is in your links database. If it is, it replaces the pipe-text-pipe combo with the text, linked to the URL in your links db. The above links, |bill brown|, |pixel|, and |nullgel|, are all in my blogroll links category, and are therefore linked to their respective sites. Sir not-appearing-in-this-film is not, so the pipes are stripped and the text returned unlinked.
Caveat: for now, the regex I’m using is /|([_a-zA-Z0-9-s]+)|/m, so no punctuation can be used in your link names. I consider this a bug, but have not worked out the regex yet. Grr. :-(
