# During quiet spells at work (well, at home but you know what I mean) I've been firmly in "because I can" territory with the digital garden functionality.
Having already implemented a display-time function to display page links in wiki-style '[[]]' notation I wanted to do something similar for external links. Being normal pages I could just enter them using Markdown but I wanted it to be visually apparent and in keeping with the internal formatting so opted for '{{}}' delimiters.
I didn't stop there, oh no; and this is where things get completely unnecessary and nerdy. I decided to create an onkeypress event for the textarea that inserts the delimiters at the cursor position or surrounds highlighted text.
Why?
Because I can.
