Getting tired of copying and pasting links, I've tried my hand again at an auto-linking feature. Essentially, you can do things like simply type http://idkfa.com, and not have to worry too much about using the comment box features to have the URL appear as a link.

This... was really, really hard to get right. Especially considering I had to find a way to distinguish between somebody simply typing a link, or using the actual linking mechanism to include a link, or if they wanted to use the link mechanism to make the URL itself a link without depending on the auto-linking feature.

And for the prestige, being able to do it in the same post (http://idkfa.com) (idkfa.com)), on the same line, doing everything wrong (http://idkfa.com), and still have it turn out right, despite using the exact same URL in all instances.

It may be that I don't have all the kinks worked out yet. Be sure to use the preview feature to make sure your posts/links are getting mangled correctly. Please report back if you find something wrong.
