Description
re.place is a module wich acts as a content filter. It searches for pre-defined
regular expressions and replaces matches with pre-defined replacements.
It is possible to specify different replacements based on several
“replacement restrictions” — for authenticated users and guests,
for pages and non-pages currently (see “Screenshots”).
For example, you can implement the functionality of cross-linker module, while
adding the possibility to insert “target” parameter, “rel=nofollow”, style
information, etc.
As another example, you can insert in your posts custom smiles or the like.
As another example, you can add custom markup to you blog, like
Google(something) would insert link to www.google.com/search?q=something,
TouTube(youtube_id) will insert , wich displays that video,
etc-etc. See “Other notes” for more examples.
You can replace http links with some other stuff for guests, leaving as is for
authenticated users (see https://wordpress.org/support/topic/297405).
Every entry can have custom “order” number, so you can chain your replacements.
re.place stores entries in database.
Management GUI provided to list entries, add, edit or delete entries.
See changelog for some changes tracking.

As a search field, use ‘
_—‘ (space in place of_!),
as a replace — ‘#160;—‘. This will insert non-breaking space
before every em-dash.Mmm… You may wish even use ‘
narrower non-breaking space… If you love typography too much… And you
can make space after dot wider… -
Search for ‘

'alt=":-)" title=":-) (nice smile -- http://www.kolobok.us/smiles/standart/smile3.gif)"' .
