Just testing to see what happens if I enter a story as "Plain Old Text" without using any HTML at all; this sentence was all entered on a single line up to the period at the end of this sentence.

I left a blank line between the first sentence and this, the second sentence.
This third sentence is on its own line immediately following the second sentence.
                    This fourth sentence is on its own line, too, but was preceded by 10 spaces.

I left two blank lines between the fourth sentence and this, the fifth sentence which ends with a period and a CRLF.

  Checking out new "user" tag...

  When a user enters the text matching:
     at-sign number-sign [digit]+ colon
  The string of digit(s) is interpreted as being a UID number.
  The matched text is replaced with a link to that user's info page.

  EXAMPLE:
     Given (with intervening spaces removed):
        @# 1 8:
     Should see it translated to:
        <a href="//dev.soylentnews.org/~The+Mighty+Buzzard" class="commentUserLink" rel="nofollow">The Mighty Buzzard</a>

  New "user" tag entered in ECODE phrase - submitted as "Plain Old Text"

  BUG? I would think that text entered between <ecode> and </ecode> should not get translated.
