auto_link with <p> tags

[eluser]infinivert[/eluser]
I'm running into this same bug. Wouldn't this just be a quick adjustment to the RegEx here?

Code:

if ($type != 'email')
        {
            if (preg_match_all("#(^|\s|\()((http(s?)://)|(www\.))(\w+[^\s\)\<]+)#i", $str, $matches))
            {

I'm not very good with RegEx. Anybody know how to fix this so links within paragraph (or other) tags will be auto-linked?

Thanks!
