I've been working on developing a regular expression to match URLs in blog entries, giving someone link formatting similar to how its done on Slashdot [slashdot.org].

As you can see above, the following regular expression is what produces that [slashdot.org] which follows:

/(<a .*?href="https?:\/\/(.*?)[\/\"].*?</a>)/\1 [\2]/

Improvements and recommendations are welcome. I can note right away that this is designed to do nothing to relative URLs.
