* Good afternoon,
* Great plug-in, thank you for this!
* I noticed that using html entities can trigger accidental emoticons. Example:
S&P 500 typed in the chat window will show S&[crazy.png] 500 after hitting return.
I believe this is because of the entity code & followed by the P is rendered
as &P and the system sees ;P as an emoticon code.
* Not sure how to fix this from a coding standpoint, maybe an entity filter of
some kind before processing the smilies. A laborious way would be to create a
an array of the entities and a special code for each, str_replace on that, process
for emoticons, and then re-str_replace the entities back in. There’s probably
a better way of doing it though, I trust you. 🙂
* Cheers.
