Replace Square Brackets for links on web page

Question

I\'m trying to do a parse of html content using jQuery/Javascript. I want to look for words between square brackets and change the whole word for a link.

Example:

Answer 1

$("div").html(function(i, html) {
    return html.replace(/\[\[(.+?)\]\]/g, "<a href='/dictionary#$1'>$1</a>");
});

Answer 2

Something like:

$('div').html($('div').html().replace(/\[\[([^\]]+)\]\]/, '<a href="/dictionary#$1">$1</a>')

should work.

But you should hava a look to _.template method!.
