Hello
I just installed Discourse, and now it’s time to migrate from anciant forum.
Previous forum had feature I have to add to Discourse.
Is it possible ? :
When a pattern of string is found into a message, string is dynamicly replaced with a link.
I.e:
“You can see on **page x** ” will be replaced by `"You can see on page x"`
A regex will do that. But where to place it ?
An idea ?
Replace in tables with a batch is not a solution. It must be automaticly when displayed.
Sorry for my poor english…
Many thanks for help

You can do this with a plugin.

[(Superseded) Plugin Tutorial #1 - How to manipulate the text in the composer?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/plugin-tutorial-1-how-to-manipulate-the-text-in-the-composer/10925) is a good place to start.
[https://meta.discourse.org/t/doi-resolver-updated/38920](https://meta.discourse.org/t/doi-resolver-updated/38920) would be an excellent example of it weren’t broken.
If you have a budget you can post in #Marketplace.
