Re: DropCap ideas wanted...and general markup plugin questio

RobA, yes I think a plugin like BBCode would be suited best for this thing, so I agree to put that functionality there.
Does, BTW, CSS not support something like a DropCap attribute? It at least has the support for large caps, so just a thought...
The s9y markup plugin does indeed not offer any extra functionality that is not part in other markups. In fact it is mostly use to enclodes words with "*" or "_" to underline/bold the text. It is very restricted, but some people got used to it.
I for one would rather suggest to enhance the BBCode plugin or provide its own plugin for that effect...
You could also use the content_rewrite stuff, that is true. But many people do not seem to get a hold of configuring that plugin properly; if you work it out for yourself... I must admit I've never tried to use the content_rewrite stuff for anything than to replace hardcoded strings; if you want it to replace generic strings I'm not really sure if it would work out.
Best regards,
Garvin
