| Yeah someone asked about this a couple years ago I think. I believe Nick said he decided not to create a URL forum code because of fears that it could be exploited or abused by users.

At present, it simply does a "replace all" of "[b]" to "<b>" and so on. Instead of replace all of [b] to <b>, you could do replace all of [a]...[/a] to <a href="...">...</a>. Unless, of course, Nick meant that he does only one linear scan of the message, instead of uses multiple regular expressions on it. |

| | It is done with a linear scan. It is hard to get regexps right, because of the nesting problem. |

| You could use non-greedy regexes, but I agree that the linear scan is certainly faster.
To get the link working, you'd have to keep track of where you found the open-link, then as soon as you find a close-link you'll have to do some fancy replacing. It'd be nice to have but I agree the copy/pasting isn't too bad. |

| | I dont mind the copy and pasting, but if you really wanted to you could probably just grab phpBB's code since I believe they allow you to do it. |
