    Hey everyone, I need your feedback!!

    You know how card names are automatically linked within articles with a dashed underline? I'm trying to set that up here on the forums as well, but the issue is I can't style the links with the dashed underline. I like the dashed underline. It's fairly unobtrusive, yet it lets you know you can click it.

    Anyway, these are the only options we have:

    Cobalion NVI vs Cobalion NVI

    Either the default link styling, or I can make it black with a black underline. Hovering over the black underline doesn't change the color.

    Let me know which you prefer. In the meantime, I'll try to find some way to get my beloved dashed underline working.

    Nevermind!

    I got it figured out. All scans should be linked now automagically with the dashed underline. If you notice any oddities, please let me know and I'll try to fix them. I tried to be more lenient with the search/replace with this plugin than on the normal site, so you don't have to use proper capitalization to get the card to link.

    So for example, pikachu blw should link right now.

    So if I say Lanturn UL i get.... How does it work if there are two or more Pokemon in a set? Or if there's a Prime/LEGEND? If I say Lanturn Prime is it linking maybe? *test of curious*

    Edit: Lanturn Prime is a link. Lanturn UL leads to nowhere? Man I know that's the right set abbreviation. lanturn lm? Lanturn HL?

    Edit again: The Lanturn are broken ;_;

    Ok I just fixed Lilligant. I think it was literally the only dead link out of the 1000 or so cards I had inputted, haha.

    The regular Lanturn from Unleashed would be Lanturn UL 18. I linked it like that just since both Lanturns technically have the same name, though I guess most people don't call Lanturn Prime "Lanturn UL."

    EDIT: Still not quite right though - I just realized it's linking cards multiple times. I only wanted it to link the card name the first time it's mentioned. Lanturn Prime - Lanturn Prime - Lanturn Prime

    EDIT 2: Ok fixed that bug. I'm getting so pro at this stuff.

    Lanturn UL, Lanturn UL 18, Tynamo NVI 38. Hmm....trying different things. Lanturn UL 86 (the Prime), Raikou CL SL9, Raikou HGSS19, Promo Raikou? Luxray GL, Luxray GL Lvl X? Or is it just gonna be Luxray RR 9 and Luxray RR 109? Lugia LEGEND, Entei & Raikou LEGEND? RSL?

    Edit: Wait, Luxray GL didn't work, but the Level X did? I totally expected that to work the other way around.

    luxray gl rr is needed. Otherwise luxray gl lv.x would be matched first w/lo the lv.x being linked. It's all done via search/replace, so it looks for terms then replaces them. I constructed it as simply as possible so it doesn't have the ability to discern something like the lv.x after luxray gl, and skip that term.

    Okay, that's why I thought that the Level X wouldn't work, because I figured it would find the Luxray GL and ignore the second half of it. Think I saw Fliptini link somewhere, that's pretty neat. I will probably think of another type of Pokemon later to nag on this thread about to see if it works or not, ha ha.
