SM::ToHtml does not convert urls to hyperlinks

I am trying to use my own output formatter with SimpleMarkup. Things seems to work, except for hyperlinks not working as expected. I tried to use SM::ToHtml to simplify things, and even if does not deal with hyperlinks. Here is the code snippet I am using.

 

require 'rdoc/markup/simple_markup'

require 'rdoc/markup/simple_markup/to_html'

s = "This is *bold*. These are urls - www.foo.com , http://www.foo.com , foo[http://www.foo.com]"

p = SM::SimpleMarkup.new

puts p.convert(s, SM::ToHtml.new)

 

The output of this is as shown below. The word “bold” was surrounded by the <b> tag, but the urls were not surrounded with <a href> tags.

 

<p>

This is <b>bold</b>. These are urls - www.foo.com , http://www.foo.com , foo[http://www.foo.com]

</p>

 

Is there a way to make this happen?

 

Regards,

Shri

         You have to use <a herf> for hyperlinks

 means start your urls with <a herf> and end with </herf>

I think that would be: You have to construct the anchor link yourself
  <a href="url">text</a>
The only things I can see in Rdoc online docs for handling anchors and
URLs are for internally generated ones to tie up the names of clasess,
modules and methods in the HTML docs being generated.

But I'm unfamiliar with the internals.

You could extend the classes to do the magic for you I suppose.

Don't use SimpleMarkup, use RDoc::Markup from RDoc 2.  See my reply on  
ruby-talk.
