Thanks - I was thinking more about a way to append HTML to a story, with
some way of accessing the story id. I've included the ability to use autotags
to add rating to stories, but since there is no way I'm aware of to access the
unique id of a story or comment, there is no way to get from the rating back
to the story (eg when linking from the stats page).

What I would like to suggest is a on_display_article hook for plugins to return
HTML to append to a story.

Cheers, Euan.

Committing new content to the actual story record is only one of the 'content filter' interactions that would be useful. It would also be very nice to be able to preprocess content at display time.

The E-Wiki engine does this very effectively, allowing registered plugins to 'spin their magic' on the story either when it is written or when it is displayed.

I have hacked my GL article renderer to allow me to render Lilypond music fragments and LaTeX math fragments into the stories at render time. Why render time? Because some of my fragments are pulling external data (like time of day or whether) to incorporate into the rendered content.
