Autolink URL

Hi Guys

Does anyone know if theres a way to automatically link URLs in TXP? I’m thinking of something that takes

http://mylink.com and converts to <a href ~~~~>

Thanks in advance

Chris

Re: Autolink URL

You mean, in articles? There’s the Textile syntax: "some texte":http://site.url

No Basically its a website for my non techie dad and he likes putting links like http://widgets.com and I would like it just to convert that into <a href=“widget.com”>widget.com</a>

Re: Autolink URL

Explain to him that a link by itself means nothing, it’s a word (or sentence or image or whatever) that can be linked. Then, around the text, he puts some quotes, a colon, and then the URI. It’s that simple.
