Internal Formatting

Before I moved my website to WordPress, I wrote and used what is called an Internal Formatting engine to display my content. What this allowed me to do is automatically generate text formatting, display acronyms and link both internal and external hyperlinks.

Here are a few examples:

Text Formatting

This text is {strong:bold}.

This text is bold.

Hyperlinks

This is an [/projects/internal-formatting|internal] link.

This is an internal link.

This is an [http://joshkearney.com|external] link.

This is an external link.

By using a system like this, it made it extremely easy to write up new content. If you would like to try it out for yourself, I’ve uploaded both the module and an example of how to use the module.
