| 5 | 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. |
|---|

|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | Users manage how AutoLink is to convert strings, phrases and patterns |
|---|
| 33 | into linkified text through a set of "rules." Each rule has the following |
|---|
| 34 | properties: |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | * Label - a human readable description of the rule and its intention |
|---|
| 37 | * Pattern - the string to convert into a link |
|---|
| 38 | * Destination URL - the URL that the pattern will be linked to |
|---|
| 39 | * Regular Expression? - Process the pattern specified as a regular |
|---|
| 40 | expression, otherwise process it is a simple string or phrase |
|---|
| 41 | * Link all occurrences? - Link all occurrences of the pattern, or just |
|---|
| 42 | the first occurrence. |
|---|
| 43 | * Case insensitive? - Make the pattern case insensitive. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
