 * I’m using this great plugin and I found a problem when I have a post showing 
   a source code using SyntaxHighlighter plugin.
 * The Simple Tags add links into the source code highlighted by SyntaxHighlighter,
   but this links are not rendered and the HTML code of the link are showed to the
   user.
 * I think that the plugin doesn’t add links to text involved em shortcodes (used
   in plugins like SystaxHighlighter), how [html][/html], [java][/java], [c][/c],
   and others shortcodes.

 * Because this is intended. The whole point of the plugin to show the source.
 * Simple Tags is at fault here.

 * So, I think that the Simple Tags plugin wouldn’t add links to text involved in
   shortcodes (used in plugins like SystaxHighlighter), how [html][/html], [java][/
   java], [c][/c], and others).
 * Is there any possibility to resolve this problem?

 * You’d need to take it up with the author of that plugin.

 * I think that you didn’t understand the problem. The Simple Tag plugin add HTML
   code to display a link do some tags. When this links are inserted between a shortcode
   like [java][/java], because the content in this tags are showed without render
   the HTML code inside, the HTML tags inserted by Simple Tags are not rendered.
 * But in what plugin’s file/function I can change this behaviour?

 * > I think that you didn’t understand the problem.
 * Simple Tags is making something between my shortcodes into a link and it’s showing
   up as `<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>` instead of [Google](http://google.com),
   am I right?
 * If so, then my plugin is working exactly how it’s supposed to. It’s displaying
   the source code of anything between it’s shortocdes. If you don’t want that to
   happen, then make Simple Tags stop adding links.

 * Yes, but this is exactly the problem. See the picture at [http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24ys9k9&s=7](http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24ys9k9&s=7)
 * It shows a code in Lua Language highlighted by SyntaxHighlighter plugin. See 
   that the first line has the word “ncluasoap” that is a tag of my post.
 * When I enable Simple Tag AutoLink, the code is changed to the picture shown at
   [http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2lvigyf&s=7](http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2lvigyf&s=7)
 * Note that is added a link to ncluasoap tag but this is not rendered. Thus, this
   damages the code in Lua Language.
 * If I manually introduce a HTML link between a SyntaxHighlighter shortcode, this
   must be shown whitout render the HTML code. But a link introduced automatically
   must be rendered or not inserted, because, if inserted, it damages the original
   code between the shortcodes.

 * As I’ve tried to explain, Simple Tag AutoLink is at fault here.

 * Ok. I understood that the problem was with SyntaxHighlighter plugin.
    I will 
   try to fix the problem. Thank you.
