Dear readers,
of the Markdown-(Extra)-Discussion list. After including Markdown as the Markup
language of choice for my
configuration files I stumbled over a feature I was missing: Adding e-mail links
with names. I came up with a
little hack I want to share with you.
Old Syntax: (mailto:$mailadress@$mailhost)
New Syntax: (mailto:$mailadress@$mailhost[ My Name)
changes:
1) function doAutoLinks: insert '(?:\W*(.*))' in RegEx before the
'>' line
2) function _doAutoLinks_email_callback: insert '$text = $matches[3];'
before line starting with $link = ...
3) function encodeEmailAdress:
a) change signature to ($addr, $text)
b) wrap the line starting with $text = ... so it reads 'if ($text ==
"") { $text = ... }'
pretty easy, istn't it?
Greetings,
Berengar

What would be a beneficial addition, would be adding email obfuscation capabilities to the [text](email) syntax. Currently the only way to achieve obfuscation is with the <email> syntax. -- arno? s? hautala? ? /-|?? arno at alum.wpi.edu pgp b2c9d448
