no, that was never on my mind, anyway, I'm not implementing it because I am not much
of a c++ programmer I do mostly localization and a patch if it's a 1 liner I can grasp
easily.
as for the hyperlinks, yes, MS Word's way is a crap. I like gnome-terminal and xchat's
text widget much better.

yes, if you were treating the link differently than the rest of the text.
I believe that making it a field would probably be a better solution, but I am not
sure how they follow the paragraph's (character's etc..) styles.
