This thread is about separating the logic into two places. "The functionality" could exist in the save logic, or the rendering logic, or conceivably both. I'm suggesting we move it strictly to the save logic. Typing ISBN xxx looks and feels like shorthand, rather than some genuine syntactic rule. Making it a save-time feature akin to autocorrect would be appropriate.
I disagree that shorthand features should not be saved in the wikitext, and I know at least a couple of other devs have expressed vaguely similar sentiments in the past.
