AutoLink is a .NET library to perform autolinking on texts, i.e. replace URIs with HTML links.
AutoLink is configurable:
- Configure URI prefixes (schemes) that trigger recognition of URIs. Default URI prefixes are:
http://https://ftp://mailto:www.(will be prepended withhttp://in link)
- Provide your own callback to render HTML based on a URI, e.g. to customize link text or add custom attributes
AutoLink assumes that the input text is raw text, not HTML. If you have HTML, consider using AutoLink as a post-processing step of HtmlSanitizer (example).
AutoLink tries to exclude trailing punctuation (!?,.:;), closing parentheses, and closing brackets from the end of URIs while preserving parentheses that are part of the URI.
var autolink = new AutoLink();
var text = @"Check it (http://x.org/wiki/Link_(film)).";
var html = autolink.Link(text);
// -> Check it (<a href="http://x.org/wiki/Link_(film)">http://x.org/wiki/Link_(film)</a>).
