Turn anything matching a certain regex into a link
Description
A disadvantage of using InterWiki to link to external pages is that the user has to put a prefix before the link, for example MeatBall:InterMapTxt.
In some cases, the actual text to be linked is distinctive enough to be turned into a link without many false positives. For example, TOPdesk service management software uses identifiers like '0811 123' for incidents. When text of this form occurs, it could be automatically rendered into a link to the relevant TOPdesk page.
The intention of this Trac plugin is to allow these kinds of links to be made with a minimum of configuration, based on a regex that matches the external identifiers.
Known issues
- Unnamed groups in the regex cannot be used in the url (#4146)

Source
You can check out RegexLinkPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
trunk is where active development occurs (on trac 0.11), tags contains released versions, and any development for other trac versions will occur in branches
Example
in trac.ini:
[regexlink]
regex1 = \b(?P<topdeskyymm>\d\d(?:0[1-9]|1[0-2])) (?P<topdesknr>\d{3})\b
url1 = http://topdesk/query=\g<topdeskyymm>%20\g<topdesknr>
regex2 = \bexample(?P<exampleid>\d+)\b
url2 = http://example.org/\g<exampleid>
This means 0811 123 becomes 0811 123, and example123 becomes example123
(the topdesk url is not correct, this is an example only)
