I’ve made some large updates to my picoformats plugin for WordPress (picoformats also sometimes known as microsyntax).

• Processing of comments has been removed (at least for now)
• Both trackbacks and pingbacks are sent for @ replies
• Trackbacks and pingbacks are sent for URLs in in-reply-to custom fields.
• URLs are auto-linked
• More stable regex, etc for @ reply/#hastag detection with some help from @tantek.com
• support for starting a post’s content with “reply URL”, “reply #URL”, “#URL”, “reply post-ID”, “reply #post-ID”, or “#post-ID” and having in-reply-to custom field added automatically (and the reply bit at the beginning of the content snipped off).
