Urrgh.
Numbers are basically easy, but then there's checking the bounds.
Well, that's what versions are for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The people who did [link] are fabulous. Thank you very, very much.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I am glad people are enjoying the [link] thing. It was far and away the simplest piece of coding in that last batch.
I was thinking of extending it to either show the domain of the link (like: [www.site.org]) or to enable provision of the anchor text, with {raw url}::check this out:: becoming check this out.
Thoughts?

I agree with the first (I find I don't click on [link] much because it lacks context).
As for the second -- it's another thing to learn. And once you're learning, why not learn something transferable like t a href="" instead?

That is precisely what was bothering me about it. Not so intuitive.
I forget, ita, is the code in gus.buffistas the one to work with? I also need to look at the hypenation thing.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I guess I like the [Link] because it does what it was meant to, and that is cut down on the long links that make our margins go batty.
Anyone who wants to code like before still can, so for the board's ease of readability, it's still a plus.
And I'd like to thank Gus for the post "continued" program. It's just great to see people's reactions to realizing they don't have to figure out where their post left off, etc. Invariably a word like "nifty" shows up in a subsequent post.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'm with ita.
But, you know, not in a biblical way. Or in a Sex and the City way. Or, in fact, in any way other than agreeing with her wholeheartedly.
Please don't hurt me.

I don't link often ... is there a new way to do it now? Other than how the HTML box tells me (because, yes, I have to look every time).
