auto_link with <p> tags

[eluser]Konfine[/eluser]
Hi All,

I've come across with a problem using the URL Helper -> auto_link function.

I'm currently creating a forum in which I use the TinyMCE JS editor for the posts, when I return back the main post the JS automatically enters the <p> tags for each new line in the database, this isn't a problem but even when passing the function around the description it's not correctly returning a linked URL.

example:

Code:

auto_link("<p>www.shopto.net</p>")

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
