Type or paste a web address into a post and it's clickable when it publishes — no more selecting the text and reaching for the link button. The idea came from a user, Don Park, the day before it shipped.
The work happens on the server, in newPost and updatePost, so every client gets it for free. The post's text passes through the Autolinker package on its way to the database — it understands HTML, so it only touches plain text: a URL that's already part of a link, or sitting inside an image tag, is left alone, and the link text is exactly what the writer typed. The stored markdown is untouched — the source stays as written; only the rendered text gets the links.
