Does email obfuscation work on link text?

Description

I am using email obfuscation with javascript on my site, and am delighted that you have made this feature available. Right now I am using it like

[email](mailto:[email protected])

but I would kind of like it to be

[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])

however, I am not sure whether the link text would also get obfuscated in the second example.

Glad you like it (Pandoc is the one doing the work and it is a very cool feature!). It obfuscates both the text and the link. Here is some example output:

<p><script type="text/javascript">
<!--
h='&#112;&#x6f;&#x73;&#x69;&#116;&#46;&#x63;&#x6f;';a='&#64;';n='&#x63;&#104;&#x61;&#114;&#108;&#x65;&#x73;';e=n+a+h;
document.write('<a h'+'ref'+'="ma'+'ilto'+':'+e+'" clas'+'s="em' + 'ail">'+e+'<\/'+'a'+'>');
// -->
</script><noscript>charles at posit dot co</noscript></p>

FWIW, it will also process a simpler version of the link if you'd like <[email protected]> and will make the mailto link and obfuscate it for you.

Awesome, thank you for the quick answer!
