Duh, I’d forgotten that (it being nearly 2 a.m. when I was writing it). So is there a nifty little something that’ll convert text or do I take the safe route and manually search & replace?

I agree with the suggestions that quotes or something to highlight the post title in the link would be a good thing too. Sorry.

This should do the trick but I still just search & replace (or avoid code).

Once I've finished tidying up here I'll start making some noise. I came across a free wordpress mu service the other day that has the first one in place (will dig out the url and post about it) but haven't seen the second one yet. And as for movable type, give me php over mt tags any day of the week... :-) Neil, I’d also like them to add a title option to the “create a link” button and an alt tag option when inserting images.
