# Select any text, press Ctrl-Shift-Z and it will be surrounded with <a href=""></a> HTML tags.
# Without a selection, an empty <a href=""></a> pair is inserted.
# If the selection starts with "http", it is interpreted as URL, else as a word.
# Install: Put the source below into "WikidPad/user_extensions/anchorify.py"
# and restart WikidPad.
# mod of codify plugin; Extremely heavily inspired by the URLifyFile plugin.
