I need to transform strings one into another.
An example is:

#Fashion #Helmet #Woman #Scifi [ ![t](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbv08xkdzy1qfzis2o1_1280.gif) ](http://bit.ly/P1omax) Rob Goodwin

That has to be transformed into the HTML code:

#Fashion #Helmet #Woman #Scifi<a href="http://bit.ly/P1omax"><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbv08xkdzy1qfzis2o1_1280.gif" /></a>

Is there a Java library that does that?

UPDATE

It looks very similar to Markdown. But processing it with markdownj produces a messy HTML:

<h1>Fashion #Helmet #Woman #Scifi</h1>

<p><a href="a href="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbv08xkdzy1qfzis2o1_1280.gif">http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbv08xkdzy1qfzis2o1_1280.gif</a"> <img src="<a href="http://bit.ly/P1omax">http://bit.ly/P1omax</a>" alt="t</a> " />

UPDATE 2

All three Java libraries that allow to transform Markdown into HTML have problems recognising images inside links.

The approach that I decided to use is a two-step approach:

  • run your library;
  • use Java code to correct the errors.

It is not an ideal solution, but it works.

    Is the inputstring markdown? Yes it works in http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus which generates

    <h1>Fashion #Helmet #Woman #Scifi <a href="http://bit.ly/P1omax"> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbv08xkdzy1qfzis2o1_1280.gif" alt="t" title="" /> </a> Rob Goodwin</h1>

    Therefore: http://code.google.com/p/markdownj/
    Or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Markdown_implementations

    https://github.com/sirthias/pegdown looks ok. they claim:

    [pegdown] fully passes the original Markdown test suite
