<a name="ex"><a/> MyCode Sectional Reference - xerotic - 2011-08-14

Two MyCodes, one optional.

First-

Regular Expression
\[a=(.*?)\]

and

Replacement
<a name="$1"></a>

What this does is set a sectional reference for pages in threads/posts. Useful for marking an exact spot to link people to. You can direct it with the normal [url] tags, but I also added a MyCode to work within the thread to keep things simple.

Second-

Regular Expression
\[ar=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/ar\]

and

Replacement
<a href="#$1">$2</a>

I think you have to use id="" to, an the "" (quotation marks), like this:
<a name="$1" id="$1"></a>

Works without it just fine. How is your change necessary?

You need the quotation marks for it to be xhtml validated, and the id for older browsers support I think.
