NAME

Template::Plugin::Clickable - Make URLs clickable in HTML

SYNOPSIS

[% USE Clickable %]
[% FILTER clickable %]
URL is http://www.tt2.org/
[% END %]

this will become:

URL is <a href="http://www.tt2.org/">http://www.tt2.org/</a>

DESCRIPTION

Template::Plugin::Clickable is a plugin for TT, which allows you to filter HTMLs clickable.

OPTIONS

target

[% FILTER clickable target => '_blank' %]
[% message.body | html %]
[% END %]

target option enables you to set target attribute in A links. none by default.

finder_class

finder_class option enables you to set other URI finder class rather than URI::Find (default). For example,

[% FILTER clickable finder_class => 'URI::Find::Schemeless' %]
Visit www.example.com/join right now!
[% END %]

this will become:

Visit <a href="http://www.example.com/join">www.example.com/join</a> right now!

NOTE

If you use this module with html filter, you should be careful not to break tags or brackets around the URLs. For example if you have a following URL form,

<http://www.example.com/>

Clickable plugin will filter this into:

<a href="http://www.example.com/"><http://www.example.com/></a>

which is bad for HTML viewing. However, if you HTML filter them first and then clickable filter, you'll get:

&lt;<a href="http://www.example.com/&gt">http://www.example.com/&gt</a>;

which href part is wrong.

You'd better try Template::Plugin::TagRescue in this case.

[% USE Clickable -%]
[% USE TagRescue -%]
[% FILTER html_except_for('a') -%]
[% FILTER clickable -%]
<http://www.example.com/>
[%- END %]
[%- END %]

will give you the right format.
