Hi Joey,
What do you think about CSS classes for links to display link with icon?
You probably know that there are wikis with that feature, for example
Moin Moin.
Here is a piece of common.css file grabbed from http://wiki.openwrt.org
site which is powered by Moin Moin wiki:
a.www:before {content: url(../img/moin-www.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.http:before {content: url(../img/moin-www.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.https:before {content: url(../img/moin-www.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.file:before {content: url(../img/moin-ftp.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.ftp:before {content: url(../img/moin-ftp.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.nntp:before {content: url(../img/moin-news.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.news:before {content: url(../img/moin-news.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.telnet:before {content: url(../img/moin-telnet.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.irc:before {content: url(../img/moin-telnet.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.mailto:before {content: url(../img/moin-email.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.attachment:before {content: url(../img/moin-attach.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.badinterwiki:before {content: url(../img/moin-inter.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
a.interwiki:before {content: url(../img/moin-inter.png); margin: 0 0.2em;}
You can see that they use a lot of CSS classes for links, but only one CSS class
for external links is enough for me :) Please look at my example:
\[[Foo]] -> <a href="http://www.mywiki.org/foo.html">Foo</a>
\[[Bar|foo/bar]] -> <a href="http://www.mywiki.org/foo/bar.html">Bar</a>
<http://www.gnu.org/> -> <a class="external" href="http://www.gnu.org/">http://www.gnu.org/</a>
[GNU](http://www.gnu.org/) -> <a class="external" href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU</a>
[RMS](mailto:rms@gnu.org) -> <a href="mailto:rms@gnu.org">RMS</a>
My best regards,

If you did not already know, you can achieve similar results using CSS3
selectors. Eg: a[href="http://www.foobar.com/"] { foobar: css } or
a[title~="Mail"] {text-decoration: none; }. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/CR-css3-selectors-20011113/ for a complete list.
Hi Charles,
Thanks for the hint! I don't know CSS3 yet :) What modern and popular
WWW browsers do support it now?
If you need to achieve this in IkiWiki itself, I imagine you could create a
plugin which runs in the format phase of rendering and search/replaces
specific link patterns. This should be a fairly simple exercise in regular
expressions.

I've never written plugin for ikiwiki, but I can try if it's simple job :)
