blog verb


This would be a nice verb to run over blog entry text,

@property $blog.regexp_link_url
;;$blog.("regexp_link_url") = "%(^%|[^=]%|[^\"]%|[^]]%)%(ftp%|http[s]?%)://.*[^ \"]"

@verb  $blog:regexp_link_url   this none this
@program $blog:regexp_link_url   this none this
text = args[1];
html = {};
for line in (text)
  url = match(line, this.regexp_link_url);
  if (length(url))
    {?start, ?stop, ?substr, ?subject} = url;
    ref = {};
    if (start > 1)
      ref = {@ref, line[1..start - 1]};
    endif
    ref = {@ref, tostr("")};
    ref = {@ref, line[start..stop]};
    ref = {@ref, ""};
    if (length(line) > stop)
      ref = {@ref, line[stop + 1..$]};
    endif
    html = {@html, tostr(@ref)};
  else
    html = {@html, line};
  endif
endfor
return html;

The PostWebCulture project invites :

  "Systems designed to facilitate storage, transfer, and recall of sets of
   facts and relations augment the user's intelligence.  More sophisticated
   tools for graphic visualization of complex conversations or widespread 
   collaboration may allow certain types of intellectual feats previously
   thought impossible."

As this project moves forward, lifting our text into a more abductive realm, many theories will traverse the lifecycle of abstract concepts.
