[pmwiki-users] Automatic linking

[Karl Loncarek]

I'm just thinking loud (comments are really welcome):

- Let's create a directive, maybe (:autolink <group>:).
- Each call of autolink creates or updates a temporary file with the 
reference filename/title. The temporary file might be called .autolink-
<group>. Update should check the filenames. When a new one exists it 
should be added to the temporary file.
- The (:autolink :) directive could be placed in the groupheader so 
updating the temporary file is ensured on each call of the file
- Maybe alos allowing autolinking to multiple groups.
- checking the wikitext for occurences of the title as stored in 

Open questions:
- How and when to modify the pagetext to link to other wikipages? 
Together with otehr directives might be too late. How does the regex have 
to look like
- What happens when a wikpage is deleted?
  * OK this might be checked simply by the filename when calling autolink 
and comparing to the temporary file
- How handle doubles when linking to multiple groups?
- Or is it better to create a function which is called in e.g. the 
config.php or maybe triggered with an action where all files are checked, 
updates and saved again with the links??
