The tool grabs the text you wrote, runs it through our player linker and returns the text with links enclosed. <p> When using with blogs or bulletin boards for adding links to posts while composing, you must click the bookmarklet while using the "Edit Html" or "Html" view rather than the "Visual", "Rich Text", or "Compose" View.
