Entity Tag

Original Author: Arantor
SMF Version: 2.0.x
Mod Version: 2.0

Description:
Adds two tags, [ent] and [entn], for specifying a variety of extended characters that may otherwise be difficult to type on the keyboard.

[ent] allows you to use the standard HTML entities, for example ™ is also ™ which can be entered with [ent]trade[/ent]

You can also use the full range of numeric entities from 3 to 6 digits, for example æ is æ, which can be entered with [entn]230[/entn]

Nice one, Arantor!

[Arantor]

Thanks

Took me a little while to figure out that regular expression though... (about two hours solid)

Why is there a need for two tags? Couldn't they be combined into one tag [ent], and use a simple regex to check for all numbers, and run the code of the [entn] tag, otherwise running the default code.

[Arantor]

Partly because the route taken is slightly different, ent issues &[contents]; versus entn issuing &#[contents];. The alternative would be evaluating one/both each call on [ent] which has performance considerations if you have multiple instances on a single page.

True.
