/^I wanted to talk a little bit about my autoquirk link removal trick, since I've seen some other ways to do it and I want to talk about the differences between them! For the sake of discussion, I'll be assuming that the "tags" for removing a link are {r} before and after the link. I've seen people put what they want to remove inside curly brackets, but it's essentially the same thing. Some trolls use the following regex for link removal: {r}.*{r} This works fine in most cases, but requires everything you want removed to be on one line. If you have a suffix in your quirk like me, that means you need to put all of the links and tags you want to remove all on the same line at the end of your message, which I find to be clunky. This is why I use the following regex instead: {r}[\S\s]*{r} By replacing . with [\S\s], the regex instead will remove any whitespace or non-whitespace characters from between the {r} tags, which means newline characters will be removed as well! I can simply put a single {r} at the end of my message where I want the suffix to be, then post my link (or links) after a newline! I find this to make writing posts to be much easier, and it makes everything look a lot cleaner when the unquirk button is clicked too. Hope this was a good explanation! Let me know if you have any questions. ᐟ⁠∧⁠.⁠∧⁠ᐟ$/

/^Once again, if you're using this trick, make sure the Regex Replace is at the very top of your quirk list! Otherwise, your other quirks might mess with the text before it activates, and it could potentially break.$/

/^Similar to one of my other tips but still worth mentioning: if your quirk replaces spaces, it might be worth adding some zero width spaces in their place! Zero width spaces are exactly what they sound like, "spaces" that take up no space. This can be incredibly useful, as regular spaces tell the program you're using that they can split to a new line if they need to, so if you remove them you might end up with words getting cut in half. You can use the site I shared last time to copy a zero width space, or someone set up a nice website specifically for the purposes of grabbing one. https://zerowidthspace.me/ Adding zero width spaces to your quirk makes sure line-breaks only happen where you want them to, and not anywhere else!$/

/^One of my favorite autoquirking tricks for this site in particular is being able to hide tags and links from your post! I can attach an image to this post without the image link appearing in the quirked text by adding this (or something similar) to my autoquirking. This can be useful for links, tags, or anything else you might want to hide to anyone who doesn't unquirk your message!$/

/^Make sure it's at the top of your quirk list by the way! Your other quirks could potentially mess with it before it can get removed otherwise.$/
