Pasting of an url, eg. <http://www.somedomain.com>
as a link is translated on paste to
<a href="<http://www.somedomain.com>"><http://www.somedomain.com></a>
I think I remember reading of this someplace, but at the moment can't recall.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Re: Pastes for urls translated to html character entities
Version 2.4 added a Substitutions feature, where it'd use HTML entities. If there's a situation where it doesn't do the right thing, I'd like to fix it. Your example might have been mangled by the forum site; can you please attach a screenshot showing the issue to your original post?
In the meantime, you can disable the Substitutions preferences if you wish (after taking the screenshot).

:)
Interesting, between leaving the comment/query, and your FAST response David, I went in and looked over the preferences again, to include taking a look at the "Sustitutions" tab.
It's now working as expected, although I did nothing other than "look" at the tab. Perhaps it's something of a missing 'blessing' involved.
I'll keep an eye on it after next reboot, and see if it presents again, and if its 'fixed' in the same manner.
Thanks again for a Mac "must-have" program, as well as your beyond-speedy reply.

Re: Pastes for urls translated to html character entities
I'm glad it's working now. I wonder, did you literally paste
<http://www.somedomain.com>
, including the angle brackets? BlogAssist would be correct in converting those to HTML entities. You should paste the URL without the angle brackets to avoid that.
