This is getting awfully close to a general footnoting tool. If you remove the link formatting for description, you are pretty much there. That would be a useful (different) add-on. As it is, I like this one for its intended purpose. I'm using the ruby version, mostly because I did something dumb in the original install and tried ruby to see if that worked. It did, so I left it alone -- using ruby.

Clever! And if I'm reading your code correctly, you're updating from the last number but still allowing the user to override, which is nice.


Yes, because I sometimes use something else than numbers like e.g. [mail].
And if it's the first numerical reference, it proposes "1".

BTW, the second reference I make to #{n} was not necessary, I removed it.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

str = STDIN.read
n = str.scan( %r{.*\[(\d+)\]: }m ).to_s.to_i + 1
print "[${1:description}][${2:#{n}}]$0" + str.gsub(/[$`\\]/, '\\\\\1') + "[$2]: ${3:http://}\n"
