Steve +1 for keeping the technical details under the hood when textiling links.
Markus, are you referring to this post about the “simplelinks” branch?

I also think the simplelinks branch makes sense. +1

Re: [textile] Automatically make links from URLs.
I’ve been playing (locally, not pushed to github yet) with a small extension to the simplelinks branch that ‘auto-classes’ links with their URL scheme (one of http, https, mailto or ftp). This adds the scheme, as a class, to all links and allows you to add CSS markup for any of the supported scheme types.
Example uses might include; showing a padlock graphic for https links or an email icon for mailto. Basically, allows you to visually distinguish between link schemes even if the scheme is omitted from the link text.

From my POV, I’d rather delegate such decorations to either CSS3 (a[href^="https://"] {...}) or Javascript.

I didn’t know that was possible, I need to do some more homework on selectors in CSS3. But yes, with power like that, there’s no need for the extra markup in the textile output.

Re: [textile] Automatically make links from URLs.
Some updates posted to the simplelinks branch on github. If anyone wants to test and give feedback, please do so.

Re: [textile] Automatically make links from URLs.
The “simplelinks” idea has been merged into the master branch and does not add any extra CSS classes.
