The only time you can detect whether [input] or [url] was used would be to View Source. As I keep harping on, since no one seems to be paying attention, is that [input] changes VTAB into a native linefeed, whereas [url] encodes that too. The fact that [input] returns & and [url] returns %38 is completely beside the point; the user see the ampersand character.
