[xwiki-users] Ability To Parse Text To Create Links

Can someone tell me what it would take (generally) to add code that would parse text for a specific pattern and convert it to a hyperlink? I'm fluent in PHP and C#, and know a little Java, but have done zero custom work with XWiki. I've created this type of parser for other systems. What I would be parsing is this regex pattern: \*\*([0-9])*\*\* To create this link: http://intranet.pridedallas.com/tickets_edit.php?iTicketID=$1 Keith Davis - (214) 906-5183 This message (including any attachments) may contain confidential or otherwise privileged information and is intended only for the individual(s) to which it is addressed.
