It's not a short cut. But when you insert the
[url][/url]
code you can insert an = sign
[url=][/url]
and instead of displaying the long, ugly looking url, you'll just see the text. For example NFA could link to a story on his site instead of pimping his sory about Drew Storen like this:
Hey check out my story on Drew Storen.
http://natsfarm.com/He could just do this instead:
Hey check out my story on
Drew Storen.
But right now, you wouldn't have anything indicating that text contains a link. Instead, it could look like this:
Hey check out my story on
Drew Storen.
