# Template::Plugin::Clickable(3pm)

Make URLs clickable in HTML

## 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.
