1337 ExpressionEngine Plugin

Well, it started out as a joke on the pMachine support forums, but I went ahead and made an ExpressionEngine plugin that translates plain text into 1337 (Leet).
It was a lot easier to get done than I thought it would be. I’ll be making it public soon. You know, for the legions of EE users who want their sites to be 1337.
To see an example of the plugin at work, click on the link below.
This is a sample paragraph to show how my Leet plugin works with plain text. If it’s hard to read, don’t worry. It’s supposed to make it difficult to read. That way if you actually can read it, you know you’re “1337”.
This plugin is only meant as a joke, and I don’t think anyone would really find it useful. 1337. 13375p34k. It doesn’t matter to me.
Thanks for letting me know about ‘c’ though. I’ll fix that soon.
I’ve only briefly seen H4X0R as the Google language, but never used it. I didn’t even know Klingon was an option. That would be hilarious.
In terms of using standard 13375p34k words like pr0n and j00, that might be added later if there’s a demand for it. Otherwise, I don’t see the need. I also thought about using symbols such as \/\/ for w and such, but since the plugin was mainly a joke, I didn’t spend much time on it.
1. Can I recommend you call it 13375p34k, rather than just “1337”?
2. I’m running Firefox 0.9.1 on Linux (on an iBook, if that makes any difference), and whatever you’re using for “c” is coming out as one of those little blocks you get if your font doesn’t support that Unicode character.
3. I’m sure you’ve checked out H4X0R as an available language for Google. I actually use that setting (did it once, just to be silly, and it never annoyed me enough to make me go through the trouble of switching back to my usual Klingon. I mean, English.) j00 m|9|-|7 7h|n|< Ab007 pIC|<1n9 5uM \/\/0RdZ w1tH 5t4nD4ro| 1337 5p33l1n9Z, 5uC|-| 4z “j00”, rather than relying on a straight letter-to-letter conversion.
