Ciao Mark S.
Brilliant thought! I can't think of many use cases beyond that one on added
punctuation in English I'd use. Maybe, once in a blue moon, I'd write a
hashed word followed by a colon "#Buddha: A man under a tree". A more
common one might be a full-stop: "And they came to the #Buddha." I think
the point you are making is a great one. One doesn't necessarily need a
complex regular expression. (Though the truth is the JavaScript RegEx for
these case is really simple---"#\w+\b"---that excludes all unwanted
punctuation as \b is a "null-space" match for "word-boundary". I just don't
know if TW macros can handle it.)
Best wishes
Josiah
