Think i found a bug, when ive made #something when sent to twitter it has </h1> in it

[baris]

Yeah I noticed that too, the regex needs work, also I believe it has something to do with markdown adding the tags before this plugin gets executed. ie

#sometag

becomes

<p>#sometag</p> when it goes into this plugin so the hashtag becomes #sometag</p>

@baris couldn't you adjust your plugin's hook listener to a higher priority? Markdown has priority 5
I'm not sure how your plugin priority system works though, never really looked into it.

[bentael]

higher priority means lower priority. WAT?
it needs a priority <= 4

Priority of 1: Be the 1st to run

[bentael]

Priority of 1: Be the 1st to run

that makes more sense.

Hey, bitch to the person who designed the plugin system.

...

.. oh wait, that's me :squirrel:

I know I had a debate with myself over which was better. I ended up deciding that lower priority means higher priority, if you think about it as "1st to run", like @Mr_Waffle said, then it works out.

When I changed it to priority 1 it inserted all the anchor texts into the content and they werent actualy links. Dunno why, I guess markdown comes after it and escapes them?

Yeah, Markdown sanitizes HTML, so that might be why. It has to come after the parser

So there exists a conflict between hashtags and markdown, in that a # at the beginning of a line signifies a h1. Hashtags in the middle of the line work, so that's fine...

So I'm not sure why, but the URL is set to https://twitter.com/search?q=%40AggroTactics rather than https://twitter.com/search?q=AggroTactics. The first URL does a search with @AggroTactics rather than #AggroTactics. So I changed it on my local but it instead added the literal '@'... not sure where that is coming from. Not sure if that was intended... seems weird.
