URLs with commas and inside comma separated lists
Here's a URL with commas in it..
<URL:http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,21084,00.html>
...but this is a comma separated list of URLs
http://www.news.com/News/Item/,www.jafsoft.com,www.jafsoft.com www.jafsoft.com,www.jafsoft.com,www.jafsoft.com,www.jafsoft.com,www.jafsoft.com,
...as is this, although this has spaces as well
http://www.news.com/News/Item/, www.jafsoft.com, www.jafsoft.com
... and here's a comma and space separated list of URL's with commas in.
http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,21084,00.html, http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,21084,00.html
URLs with brackets an "URL" added to them.
URL:www.jafsoft.com
<URL:www.jafsoft.com>
<www.jafsoft.com>ftp links
ftp://www.somewhere.com/ ! explicit link ftp.somewhere.com ! semi-explicit link (ftp.) ftp://user@your_domain_name.com/ ! ftp with username penguin.mit.edu ! very weak implicit link. Can toggle policy to get this working
penguin.mit.edu ! (same, with policy switched on)
mistyped URLs
http:/www.somewhere.com/
ftp:/www.somewhere.com/
https:/www.somewhere.com/Invalid URLs (invalid domains)
www.somewhere
www.somewhere.con
www.somewhere.com.xx
www.somewhere.co.zzRejects
*.excite.com ! rejected. Contains a wildcard www.com ! rejected. Domain name too short do...this ! rejected. "..." do..this ! rejected. ".."
a.b.c.d.e.com
*.excite.com ! rejected. Contains a wildcard www.com ! rejected. Domain name too short www.gozilla ! rejected. Invalid domain name ending
http://yrj/index.html ! invalid domain, but possible Intranet link, so you can toggle this http://yrj/index.html ! "check domain name syntax" policy disabled
AscToHTM supports a tagging system, that allows you to add your own hyperlinks. Example include
AscToHTM home page
Go to Netscape's home page
Check the source file to see how these are configured.
URLs split over two lines...the line break is interpretted as a space.

You can use policies to configure certain ascpects of the URL detection process. This can be toggled in the source file be using the $_$_CHANGE_POLICY preprocessor command.
Here's an example of treating the newsgroup "uk.telecom" (which is not in one of the main 7 newsgroup hierarchies).
| --- | (recognised groups switched | off) --- |
| uk.telecom demon.local, uk.games |
! rejected because uk.* not recognised | |
| --- | (switch on uk newsgroups) - | -- |
Add a line in the source to "change policy" so that "uk." is a recognised USENET hierarchy. e.g.
$_$_CHANGE_POLICY Recognised USENET groups : uk demon
This change could be made globally via the policy file. Now the conversion gives the following results:-
uk.telecom
demon.local, uk.games! accepted because uk.* now recognised
--- (switched off again) ----
Add a line in the source to "change policy" again back to the default
$_$_CHANGE_POLICY Recognised USENET groups : none
and we're back to the default behaviour
uk.telecom ! rejected again because uk.8 recognition switched off again
demon.local, uk.games
