Dan,
Here you go: http://kitt.hodsden.com/drupal/extract_tags_module
You'll have to use comma separated tags, instead of space separated:
tags: tag1, tag3, taginfinity
Enjoy.
Many thanks, Kitt! I didn't expect someone to write the module for me, I just didn't want to duplicate work. Anyway, great work :)
I am not sure why one would want to do this? Can someone explain why I would want to embed the tags in my node text instead of adding the appropriate category (vocabulary) settings to the content type? I have hierarchy disabled and free tagging checked and it allows me to enter a comma separated list. I also get the benefit of dynamic suggested terms based on what is being entered.
You're right, it's not that useful for adding tags through the normal methods, where it's just as easy (and you get a lot more context) when adding the tags through the taxonomy fields. I was more thinking of situations where you may be posting something in a non-standard way, such as by email, sms or xmpp, where these fields wouldn't be available to you.
Imagine maybe you had a site where you could email Drupal a message...
"Learning about cool new maps tags: maps, openstreetmap place: london"
... and it'd post it for you, tag it up, and maybe even take the location information and deduce some lat/long coordinates for it, etc. It's sort of looking at Drupal more as a software platform than a content management system, and it's great for that sort of thing.
Cheers, Dan
