Auto-linking

I'm in the process of re-desiging my site (www.NintendoGeneration.com) and one thing that I would really like to do is automatically have certain words automatically create links to given URLs.

I could create a program in C++ that would go ahead and modify the code before I do anything, but I would have to re-compile it everytime I added a new link/hot-word (building an external list is a bit too complicated for the new authors, I believe..."The syntax...its confusing!" "Shut up!")

Do you guys know of anything like this? I intend to continue using HTML for now, my pursuits are a bit filled, and I don't feel like learning PHP ....let me know if you all can think of anything. :-D

You mean you want to have a short script that will go through the entered text and chanage exact words to a hrefs? For example your enter "Hi everyone here" and the script will make "hi everyone < a href='nintendo.com.... "?

If so then my only idea how to do this is in php:) A short script with preg_replace - function that go through entered text and change selected words...

It's pretty simple so maybe it can help you. If you have any problems feel free to write to me - maybe I can help you with this script;)
