I think it's reasonable to search through a haystack that is the empty string. This gets rid of the following assertion failure for me: #0 0x00002b7f5ebdccab in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00002b7f5ebde660 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00002b7f5e046b1b in g_logv () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00002b7f5e046bb3 in g_log () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x00002b7f5e326746 in purple_markup_find_tag (needle=0x2b7f5e33fb89 "img", haystack=0x11fcf6c "", start=0x7fff51043070, end=0x7fff51043068, attributes=0x7fff51043060) at util.c:1016 #5 0x00002b7f5e2fa9f4 in convert_image_tags (log=0x931a80, msg=0x11fcf60 "<IMG ID=\"1\">") at log.c:709 #6 0x00002b7f5e2fba15 in html_logger_write (log=0x931a80, type=4097, from=0x778e00 "lk80z", time=1181547027, message=0x11fcf60 "<IMG ID=\"1\">") at log.c:1339 #7 0x00002b7f5e2f8fee in purple_log_write (log=0x931a80, type=4097, from=0x778e00 "lk80z", time=1181547027, message=0x11fcf60 "<IMG ID=\"1\">") at log.c:155 #8 0x00002b7f5e2eca6c in purple_conversation_write (conv=0x1041500, who=0xf50ba0 "giantpucepanda", message=0x11ec670 "<IMG ID=\"1\">", flags=4097, mtime=1181547027) at conversation.c:883 #9 0x0000000000452ca5 in pidgin_conv_write_im (conv=0x1041500, who=0x0, message=0x11ec670 "<IMG ID=\"1\">", flags=4097, mtime=1181547027) at gtkconv.c:4827 #10 0x00002b7f5e2ed21e in purple_conv_im_write (im=0x111b170, who=0x0, message=0x11ec670 "<IMG ID=\"1\">", flags=4097, mtime=1181547027)

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs

 @section Introduction
  Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin
  loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here
  on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and
  makes duplicate IDs unlikely.


 @section Format
  The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows:

  <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt>

  The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one
  of the following:

    - core      - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using
                  libpurple. It must not use any UI-specific code.
    - prpl      - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to
                  connect to.
    - lopl      - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl
                  or TCL).
    - gtk       - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any
                  window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32).
    - gtk-x11   - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code.
    - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code.
    - qpe       - Gaim for Qtopia plugin.

  The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It
  @em should be your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field
  blank.

  The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like,
  though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you
  want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID.
  The PurplePlugin structure already has a field for this.


 @section plugin-db Plugin Database
  Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database
  on the Pidgin website, where users can download and install new plugins.
  Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it
  must be unique.
