Description-en: autolinker for Ruby
Rinku is a Ruby library that does autolinking.
.
It parses text and turns anything that remotely resembles a link into an HTML
link, just like the Ruby on Rails `auto_link` method -- but it's about 20
times faster, because it's written in C, and it's about 20 times smarter when
linking, because it does actual parsing instead of RegEx replacements.
