Tool link parsing screwups

I posted this text:

Read this:  [URL="http://www.aquilinestudios.org/avsfilters/index.html"]Scintilla's Guide to AVISynth Postprocessing Filters[/URL]

But instead of this:

the result was was this:
Read this: Scintilla's Guide to AVISynth Postprocessing Filters

Where the word "Avisynth" in the middle of my URL tags is "tool linked", messing up my link.

Also I notice that words in CODE tags are parsed and linked to tools -- this is really annoying and can break code. I found that using the HTML tag does prevent parsing, as above.

I know that I can disable parsing of tool links per post by unchecking the option, but if I forget, the text is scrambled; if I go back to correct a typo, the "parse" option is reselected and cannot be unselected unless you click "Advanced" -- but clicking "Advanced" causes the tool links to be parsed before I can turn it off!!!!!!!

Anyway, I think that text between URL or CODE tags should never be parsed into tool links.

(I had to edit and reedit this about 6 times to do and undo all the parsing....)

Yep. It's annoying. I will see if I can tweak my tools replace regular expression.

Is this going to happen?

Every time I paste a script into a post, the automatic links really **** it up.

[Baldrick]

I'm working on it as you see....

[AlanHK]

Thanks.

[Baldrick]

I think it should work pretty good now.

\tmpgenc
bd rebuilder
loadplugin(\"P:\AviSynth 2.5\Old\LoadPluginEx.dll\")

Url with dvdrebuilder text


Code works fine with urls is not that simple to fix...

And now a new, almost as annoying problem:

If I post this text:

loadplugin("P:\AviSynth 2.5\Old\LoadPluginEx.dll")
DirectShowSource("file.xyz")
Soundout()

in CODE tags it adds backslashes to the quote marks:.

loadplugin(\"P:\AviSynth 2.5\Old\LoadPluginEx.dll\")
DirectShowSource(\"file.xyz\")
Soundout()

And for extra laughs, every time I edit it, it adds a new set of backslashes. So I get

loadplugin(\\\"P:\AviSynth 2.5\Old\LoadPluginEx.dll\\\")
DirectShowSource(\\\"file.xyz\\\")
Soundout()

after a couple of edits.

Why does the forum software insist on screwing with code?

[Baldrick]

It's not the forum software that causes this...it's my crappy code. .

I disabled the tool linking when editing until I found the bug.
