Other than the fact that it might break existing markup, I would say<br>get rid of the [[ Link Text -> <a href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com</a> ]] markup<br>altogether. It never made sense to me, the GUI link buttons in the

I use it quite often, because my mind suggests the link text before it figures out what the link target should be be. Because -> is awkward to type frequently, I modified the markup rule to accept [[Link Text >
<a href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com</a> ]]. Much simpler to type that way. (It still accepts -> as well.)<br><br>I'm not giving it up; that one's in my fingers.<br><br>Bronwyn<br>
