better links
12th Dec 2007 - 09:25by sneeze
It'd be nice to be able to do links which have a url which is not the same as a text, especially for the news page. For example, link looks a bit silly.

I suppose there's worries about security and misleading links, but that can be solved by having a "trusted user" bit, perhaps? then not just anyone that registers can do it, they'd have to be approved by a moderator.

I know what you mean, but this was my cheap hack for not allowing people to hide link targets.

That's certainly possible. I am intending to rewrite the post-rendering code soon, mainly so that I can do code syntax highlighting; but improving linking can be part of that.
