I was thinking of extending it to either show the domain of the link (like: [www.site.org])
I like this a great deal. It piles coolness on coolness.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
JenP, if you just write the link into the post it now shows up as [link]. So this: [link] should be a link to Buffistas. (I think? I haven't actually used it yet.)
ETA: Yes! I'm right. Go me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gus, I'm going to save a copy in your site called production_post.php.
I had another thought, please don't run away.
The way WX handles open tags is to fix them, not on saving, but on display. So I will always see what I typed in, but it will generate healthier HTML.
Can we do that, for editing sanity? Including for the hyphenation? Put it in the same area as the quickedit expansion?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Since I always used [www.site.org...] when I was shortening links, I prefer option 1. As ita says, it adds some context.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Hmm. Where does more processing go? On display, which must be incredibly more frequent than saving, or on saving?
OK, that was loaded. I get your concern, but I worry about the net effect on performance.

Oh, sweet. Go, Gus.
Thanks, Katie.

It will be more processing heavy, and I understand your concern, but even I get fidgety editing my post that's not what I typed in. I think it increases the potential for confusion.
Also, it's kind of a principle thing.
Maybe we should benchmark and see if it's a detectable hit.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
