[Slashcode-general] slashdisplay modifications

[Alex M. <alex@OWAL.co.uk>]

Hi folks,

I want to modify one of my slash virtual sites so that when it displays a 
line of the form

Author: Ian Banks

it gets automatically converted to

Author: <a href="http://mysite.com/cgibin/blah.pl?Ian+Banks">Ian Banks</a>

I want to do this for a number of attributes including Title, Publisher, 
and so on.

My problem is that I thought I could do this by modifying article.pl
However it looks like article.pl doesnt actually use the article bodytext.
It merely specifies the story id and then gets slashDisplay to do the 
displaying.

I can't modify slashDisplay to do this since it is used by other virtual 
sites which may not want this functionality - or more likely will have 
their own modifications.

Any ideas with this?

Perhaps I should add an (optional) callback to slashdisplay which filtered 
the bodytext?

Alex
