LinkSniffer class

Matches URLs.

By default only unambiguous links are matched: those with an explicit scheme (https://…, ftp://…, …) or starting with www.. This avoids false positives on plain words like example.com or file names.

To restore the older permissive behavior (any word.tld-looking token), pass LinkSniffer.loosePattern as the pattern:

LinkSniffer(pattern: LinkSniffer.loosePattern)
