A specific tag to link to a specific site? |
| 12 |
Not really a good idea. |
| 13 |
irb(main):002:0> '<wikipedia topic="Foo">Foo</wikipedia>'.length |
| 14 |
=> 38 |
| 15 |
irb(main):003:0> '<uri link="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo">Foo</uri>'.length |
| 16 |
=> 51 |

Only 13 characters difference. Whatever editor you use, I'm sure you can give |
| 19 |
it a macro to insert something like '<uri link="http://"></uri>' for generic |
| 20 |
external links and '<uri link="http://wikipedia.org/wiki/"></uri>' for |
| 21 |
wikipedia articles. |

Besides, using your tag makes it impossible for translators to link to the |
| 24 |
translated version when available. |

Off-topic: you should bump date & revision when you edit a document. Thanks. |
