ABOUT AUTOLINK |
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 |
AutoLink provides users with a way of creating a list of "hot words." |
|---|
| 8 |
Whenever these words appear in a post, they are automatically linked to |
|---|
| 9 |
a designated URL. For example, if you were to frequently write about |
|---|
| 10 |
Movable Type, and anytime you mention the phrase "Movable Type" in a |
|---|
| 11 |
post you want it to be linked to http://www.movabletype.org/ without |
|---|
| 12 |
having to enter the link manually. This plugin will do that for you. |
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 |
More advanced users could use AutoLink to setup linking rules that will |
|---|
| 15 |
turn Wiki formatted words into links into their internal/external wiki. |

|---|
| 33 |
|

into linkified text through a set of "rules." Each rule has the following |
|---|
| 36 |

| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 |
* Label - a human readable description of the rule and its intention |
|---|
| 39 |
* Pattern - the string to convert into a link |
|---|
| 40 |
* Destination URL - the URL that the pattern will be linked to |
|---|
| 41 |
* Regular Expression? - Process the pattern specified as a regular |
|---|
| 42 |
expression, otherwise process it is a simple string or phrase |
|---|
| 43 |
* Link all occurrences? - Link all occurrences of the pattern, or just |
|---|
| 44 |
the first occurrence. |
|---|
