Email address format XHTML compatible

cdavid · September 2010

When you have content which is served as applcation/xhtml+xml, the regular expression in js/global.js at line 160:


var email = $(this).html().replace(/<em>dot<\/em>/ig, '.').replace(/<strong>at<\/strong>/ig, '@');

will not match any more because of the XML namespace occurence.
