$match = $string =~/$description/ && $string !~ /\[\[$description\]\]/;This would match on $description in plain text or in external links and would exclude internal links. This would be perfect for my uses although it's somewhat inconsistent because internal self links match on any plain text and this would be broadening that to only one type of link. On the other hand, the current behavior is also inconsistent (doesn't match on any links). For perfect consistency, I guess you could match on everything and then filter match positions to remove self matches. This is probably harder, anyway, I think the semi-consistent approach is likely to be better for most use cases.
Well, you have excellent user interface taste, so I won't complain if you don't think this is worth your time!

In other parts of the outline, I've tried to use internal links to refer to that headline but I can't get it to work.Scott
