8.10 Bare URLs, WikiNames, and InterWiki links

A URL or email address encountered in the input text is published as a hyperlink. These kind of links are called implicit links because they are not separated from the rest of the Muse document in any way.

If the muse-wiki module is loaded, another form of implicit link will be made available. WikiNames, which are typed in camelcase, will be highlighted and published as links, provided that the file they refer to exists.

The muse-wiki module also allows for InterWiki links. These are similar to WikiWords, but they specify both the project and page of a file. The names of your project entries in muse-project-alist will be used as InterWiki names by default. Several examples follow.

     Blog::DocumentingMuse
     Projects#MuseMode
     Website

In the first case, the interwiki delimiter is `::', `Blog' is the project name, and `DocumentingMuse' is the page name. In the second example, `#' is the interwiki delimiter. If the name of a project occurs by itself in text, like the third case, it will be colorized and published as a link to the default page of the given project.

Customization of interwiki links may be accomplished by editing the muse-wiki-interwiki-alist option.
