Linkify (and Hashify)
A simple jQuery Plugin to automagically create anchors from recognised HTTP links and convert hash tags into links to Twitter.
I created linkify after using the @anywhere Twitter library and found that it didn’t automatically link urls in tweets or hash tags.
Usage
$([selector]).linkify(); / $([selector]).hashify();
Examples
$(‘p’).linkify(); – convert all recognised urls in all matched paragraph elements to hyperlinks.
$(‘p’).hashify(); – convert all recognised hashtags in all matched paragraph elements to links to hash tags on Twitter.
$(‘.toLink’).linkify(); convert all recognised urls in all matched elements with the class .toLink to hyperlinks.
$(‘.toLink’).hashify(); convert all recognised hashtags in all matched all matched elements with the class .toLink tags to links to hash tags on Twitter.
Simple not much to it.
