an7_filter replaces text strings defined by a customizable array located in the script. Basically, this means you can finally include emoticons (smilies), instant messenger style! It can also be used for undesirable language filtering or keyword link insertion.

While an7_filter does not automate this process entirely, it does make it fairly easy. Used as a wrap tag, it will filter the contained text using an array specified in the plugin (the default is setup for emoticon replacement). The array is setup in a simple "text" => "replace" format and the wrap tags are reasonably concise;

<txp:an7_filter>...content...</txp:an7_filter>.
