<p>re.place is a module wich acts as a content filter. It searches for pre-defined<br />
regular expressions and replaces matches with pre-defined replacements.</p>
<p>It is possible to specify different replacements based on several<br />
“replacement restrictions” — for authenticated users and guests,<br />
for pages and non-pages currently (see “Screenshots”).</p>
<p>For example, you can implement the functionality of cross-linker module, while<br />
adding the possibility to insert “target” parameter, “rel=nofollow”, style<br />
information, etc.</p>
<p>As another example, you can insert in your posts custom smiles or the like.</p>
<p>As another example, you can add custom markup to you blog, like<br />
    Google(something) would insert link to <code>www.google.com/search?q=something</code>,<br />
    TouTube(youtube_id) will insert <code><object ...></code>, wich displays that video,<br />
etc-etc. See “Other notes” for more examples.</p>
<p>You can replace http links with some other stuff for guests, leaving as is for<br />
authenticated users (see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/297405).</p>
<p>Every entry can have custom “order” number, so you can chain your replacements.</p>
<p>re.place stores entries in database.</p>
<p>Management GUI provided to list entries, add, edit or delete entries.</p>
<p>See changelog for some changes tracking.</p>
<h3>A brief examples</h3>
<ol>
<li>
<p>As a search field, use ‘<code>_—</code>‘ (<em>space</em> in place of <code>_</code>!),<br />
as a replace — ‘<code>#160;—</code>‘. This will insert non-breaking space<br />
before every em-dash.</p>
<p>Mmm… You may wish even use ‘<code><span<br />
style="letter-spacing:0.1ex;">#160;</span>—</code>‘ as a replase to insert<br />
narrower non-breaking space… If you love typography too much… And you<br />
can make space after dot wider…</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Search for ‘<code>:-)</code>‘ and replace with:</p>
<p>‘<code><img src="http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/smile3.gif"' .<br />
   'alt=":-)" title=":-) (nice smile -- http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/smile3.gif)"' .<br />
   'style="vertical-align: middle;" /></code>‘</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Search pattern: <code>YouTube\(([a-zA-Z_0-9\-]*)\)</code></p>
<p>Replace pattern:</p>
<p>‘<code><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/\1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><br />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/\1"></param><br />
</object></code>‘</p>
<p>This will allow you to use markups like <code>YouTube(TMCf7SNUb-Q)</code> to insert<br />
Youtube video fragments easily.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>How to Mass Remove Link (mass deactivate URL Linked text inside posts)?<br />
(https://wordpress.org/support/topic/288020)</p>
<p>Search pattern: <code><a [^>]*>([^<]*)<\/a></code></p>
<p>Replace pattern: <code>\1</code></p>
<p>This will “deactivate” all links in all posts<br />
(e.g. replace <code><a href="...">Try!</a></code> with just <code>Try!</code>).<br />
Note, you can activate them back, deactivating this <code>re.place</code> entry.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Want to insert drop caps easily?.. Use ‘<code><drop>L</drop>orem ipsum...</code>‘ in your<br />
posts and replace it with <code><span class="dropcap">\1</span></code>‘. Use angle brackets,<br />
and if you (accidentally) deactivate re.place, these “tags” won’t mess you page.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>New — in v0.1.3 — [beta-] feature: you can specify different replace patterns<br />
for authenticated users and “guests”. Sorry, i’ll update screenshots and doc<br />
ASAP. 🙂</p>
