We have a contributor on our group blog who likes posting full URLs to his articles, even after being taught how to make links. Problem is, some of those URLs are long enough to dilate the layout. Do we have a hack/plugin to contract long URLs with substr() and ellipsis or something?
Something to contract URLs in body text? (5 posts)

It's available as a firefox extension. -
Posted 7 years ago #I'm just editing his posts whenever he posts a dilatory URL, but that's a bit high-maintenance. Hmmm, maybe I should be figuring out how to write my *own* plugin for this. ;)

Posted 7 years ago #Okay, I've just read the auto-hyperlink-urls plugin docs a bit more closely, and it does truncate link text. Perfect; I should have read a bit more closely before running to the support forum. :P
