Innerestin' idea Liz. Here's another thought - If we implemented that, maybe we could disallow "longhand" href's. There would be no need for them, and the problem of mismatched quotes within a URL would solve itself.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

In my mind, it makes more sense to use l as the "link" abreviation and "r" for a return. But things like that which make sense to me rarely make sense to anyone outside my head.

Hmm we could take La Liz's suggestion to it's logical conclusion. Create quick edit tags for all the HTMl tags we currently allow, and disallow regular HTML. Voila - no more problem html.
You're going to shove that can of screen cleaner where? No wait, it was only a passing thought. I didn't really mean it. Please no..... t Arrgh.

I think L for link is a good idea. R for return isn't so bad either. Can I mention that Hil R, while not being a technical implementer, always makes good suggestions on this board? Like how she solved the "admins can't edit" problem, and helped boil some others down with logic. She's definitely on the "helpful problem solver" team that makes things shiny for us on the "whinging plaintiff" side of this thread.
I don't think you can nest quick-edit tags, which I like to do in quotes (or in the future, haiku).

There are real reasons why I wouldn't like this:
1. Other tags like b, i, etc. don't break the board when they're not closed properly. They just mistakenly create a lot of bold, italic, etc. text.
2. a quickedit tag always leaves a space on both sides of its contained text. Something like emboldened can't be done with quickedit; you need "real" tags.
t edit and 3. What Noumenon said about nesting tags.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means. You are one smart lizard.

From context, I believe she uses it to mean "possessed of a right tasty ass." A detail she might wish to forward to her author in the "slash and be slashed" competition.

So, Noum, you're trying for special hell, then?

I'm not biting her in the ass. It's the QuickEdit doing that. That's why we need to keep the HTML tags and stay away from that hellbound quickedit function.
