Hi, All!

What does it mean to "parse links in text", please?

That could be for this site or on other ones.

Thanks!

Means the test becomes the link.
So rather than:

Click here ( http://www.whatever.com)

It becomes

click here (www.whatever.com)

Make sense ?

Is that like the tiny url thing? Or, is it something different?

Thanks!

Nope simply making the words into the link and making them active.

Hey Ben, I've seen that somewhere on AMHD, I mean, the how to parse a link, perhaps in the 'help' link, but I can't find it anymore?

EDIT: Oh, I just tried to quote you, and I could see what you did. :)

Here's a parse links test.

This is All About Google. (http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en)

Is that what you mean, Ben?

Thanks!

It also means that any www links, non-phased are simply text to the site, where as Phasing makes the link active, i.e. clickable.


www.NONphased.com
www.phased.com (http://www.phased.com)

Make even more sense?

I'll have to check these things out later, Ben! Got to get to bed, now!

Thanks!

To see how the links are parsed, have a look at this open source script - http://www.biterscripting.com/SS_URLs.html . It is probably not the same language, but I am certain the algorithm is similar.
