Kevin,
Just a note, that I did not forget this suggestion. I really like it and
will introduce it into BoltWire next chance I get. The next release for
sure.
Cheers,
Dan
P.S. Here's my current code if you want to test it. It is from markups.php.
It also fixes a glitch where the forward slashes are converted to dots in
the link display. I'm commenting out the tags feature because it is easier
now to use an info page for tagging...
function BOLTMlinks($x) {
## FAIRLY COMPLEX MARKUP RULE HANDLING LINKS. MORE DOCUMENTATION NEEDED.
global $scriptURL, $fieldURL, $cleanURL, $pageLink, $BOLTmissingMark,

class='marks'><sup>?</sup></span>";
if (BOLTconfig('missingMark', 'true') == 'true') $missing =
$BOLTmissingMark;

$x = substr($x, 1);
$missing = '';
}

list($link,$label) = explode('|',$x,2);
$link = substr($link, 1);
if ($label == '+') {
if ($link == BOLTutf2url($link)) $label = ucfirst($link);
else $label = $link;
}
$link = BOLTutf2url($link);
return BOLTescape("<a name='$link'>$label</a>");
}
list($link,$label,$attrs) = explode('|',$x,3);
$link = trim($link);
$label = trim($label);
if (substr($link, 0, 1) == '~') {
$link = 'member.' . trim(substr($link, 1));
if ($label == '') $label = BOLTvars("member.$link:member");
}
