There seem to be two main types of links, with a few oddballs.
- Internal links, which are id, localtime, node, pad, and pmdev. These are the guys calling htmlcode(). I don't think v0.1 allows the ability to customize to a link using this.
- External HTML links, listed below*. These are the ones I think are excellent candidates for customizing. There seem to be 3 variables total that are used:
- %L - location
- %T - title (if given - defaults to %L)
- %E - $query->escape(%L);
- The oddballs. From your list, the only one is isbn, which has the tr/// and default to a different title in it. I think we can leave customizing that would allow for this one out of v0.1 and add it later.
So, if I read everything right, the linking methods would look something like:
- cpan: <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=%E">%T</a>
- link: <a href="%L">%T</a>
- google: <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%E">%T</a>
You get the point. Even if you don't expose this, I think it would make the internal code a lot easier to manage.
*External linking methods:
- cpan
- dict
- doc
- ftp
- google
- href
- http
- https
- jargon
- kobe
- kobes
- link
- lj
- lucky
- perldoc
- In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)
