(Replacement code
$link = url
$description = link title
$text is the text replacement.)

ordinal is the order for replacment.

the lower the number, the more precedence it has.

So if you have 'my name is bob' and also 'bob' as replacments, you want the first to have a lower ordinal so it gets replaced first. Otherwise only the second will get matched.

$link=url
$description=description
$text=replacement text
$url=a rolled up version of $link and $text. Essentially, $url produces the following html:
<a href='$link' target='_BLANK'>$text</a>

So when using a popup, you can stick $url in the description and it will give you a link (this was mentioned a few posts back). You can also use html - but I would caution not to use anything that would give you a line break as it can break the variable sent to the popup javascript.

Technically, you could also use some posbit variables too.

Hope this isnt to confusing
