[development] HTML in node titles for D5

[Walt Daniels]

I also need this but what I need is a link. Perhaps [text:url] or something
similar could be changed to <a href="url">text</a>. Is this secure, given
that text:url has been though checkplain?

That's a very good idea! It has the advantage that in all places that output

check_plain($node->title) will show a reasonable string after all. 
As long as the required markup is limited - this is the most elegant
solution 
I've seen!
