Textile is available, using the simple markup might be of use.

While I use this, I don't think its appropriate to have all of my rather non-technical clients learn Textile just to create links for my convenience..

I'm looking into this in my spare time, I'll post information as I have it.

I added a quick search and replace to the do_textile function which does the auto-linking. A few bugs I can see so far:

  • Punctuation at the end of a URL (for example if it is at the end of a a sentence) will be included as part of the link e.g. http://www.reddit.com. This will break some links, I think depending on the DNS configuration of the site in question. My workaround for now is to add a space after the URL.
  • It won't work with URLs that contain spaces.

Code accepted into 0.8.6. Places in new function add_links in general.php so we can reuse the code in various places, e.g. task list. Works great.
