:mod:`gfm.autolink` -- Turn URLs into links
===========================================

The :mod:`gfm.autolink` module provides an extension that turns all raw URLs
into marked-up links.

This is based on the `web-only URL regex`_ by John Gruber (public domain).

This regex seems to line up pretty closely with GitHub's URL matching.
Two cases were identified where they differ. In both cases, the
regex were slightly modified to bring it in line with GitHub's parsing:

* GitHub accepts FTP-protocol URLs;
* GitHub only accepts URLs with protocols or ``www.``, whereas Gruber's regex
  accepts things like ``foo.com/bar``.

Typical usage
-------------

.. testcode::

   import markdown
   from gfm import AutolinkExtension

   print(markdown.markdown("I love this http://example.org/ check it out",
                           extensions=[AutolinkExtension()]))

.. testoutput::

   <p>I love this <a href="http://example.org/">http://example.org/</a> check it out</p>
