dave said:How can I program it to know a post is a list of plants rather than any other kind of text?


We'd have to specify in our post, maybe? Which means we'd have to educate users, but that's not hard with the folks we have here -- they pick up on stuff quickly.

Or it could look for formatting (yeah, that would only take it forever, right).... when it sees something like this:

plant a
plant b
plant c

then it could generate a pop-up asking "is this a list? And if so, would you like to auto-match to the db?"

if it was a common name, it could then provide a list of possibilities.


Honestly, I think it's way more coding work than is feasible, for a relatively small return. Shrug!

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
