The Auto-hyperlink URLs WordPress plugin is very cool, but I found a gnarly little bug in it while I was viewing this post:
Try posting something like this:
Here's a <a href="http://email.about.com/cs/wincleanreviews/gr/ecleaner.htm"> review from About.com </a>.
This gets rendered as:
Here’s a review from About.com.
where the HTML source looks like this:
Here’s a <a href="http://email.about.com/cs/wincleanreviews/gr/ecleaner.htm"> review from <a href="http://About.com" title="http://About.com" target="_blank">About.com</a></a>.
Unfortunately, it tries to linkify About.com even though it’s already inside a link. This causes it to fail XHTML validation, which is what made me notice this bug in the first place.
I have been visiting this site a lot lately, so i thought it is a good idea to show my appreciation with a comment.
Thanks,
