Posts with hashtags with punctuation in them are not interpreted. I
identi.ca-d/tweeted a notice with the text “ #seamonkey’s” in it (
http://identi.ca/notice/99686690 ,
https://twitter.com/ohnobinki/status/303906456422465536 ). At the respective
microblog websites, the hashtag was interpreted as “#seamonkey”. But in my
mbpurple’s echoing back of my own tweet (I have only connected it to my
twitter account), I get the following HTML as best as I can preserve it:
<font color="#cc0000"><a
href="http://twitter.com/ohnobinki/status/303906456422465536">(11:38:40)</a></fo
nt>

Ugh! When will <textarea/>s get #<a
href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23readline">readline</a>
or #<a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23emacs">emacs</a>
key-binding support? That’s one too many times I’ve opened #<a
href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23seamonkey%3Fs">seamonkey’s</a>
page editor… <a
href="tw:///fav?src=twitter.com&account=ohnobinki@api.twitter.com&id=303
906456422465536">*</a>
<a
href="tw:///rt?src=twitter.com&account=ohnobinki@api.twitter.com&id=3039
06456422465536">rt</a>
In there is a link to http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23seamonkey%3Fs which
should be a link to http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23seamonkey
The rules for stopping on punctuation are talked about a little at
https://support.twitter.com/articles/370610-my-hashtags-or-replies-aren-t-workin
g and http://qr.ae/TRvm6 . In my short search, I couldn’t find a method of
determining which characters count as tag delimiters or not, unfortunately.
