"File:" becomes a hyperlink
If I type the word "File:" (without quotes) it becomes a hyperlink. Is this normal?

I use that pretty frequently, but it will not work properly if a filename and/or folder name contains spaces, in which case the hyperlink is broken.Prisma wrote:Ah, I see! I can use it to browse on my PC, e.g. file:C:\Users
Wonder if a setting could be added in which the user specifies a character that AkelPad can substitute for a space. I also use Horst Schaeffer's MemPad, which has that option. When I write a hyperlink, I use the underscore character instead of a space.
For example: file://C:/Users/Myself/Documents/eBook_Collection/Tale_of_Two_Cities.txt
Even though the actual file and path names contain spaces, double-clicking the link will open the file.
BTW, Internet Explorer recognizes %20 for spaces in URLs, but that doesn't work in AkelPad.

Thanks, Instructor; that works just fine!Instructor wrote:outskirter
You can remove space from right delimiters "Settings...->Editor 2->HyperLinks->Delimiters"
BTW, this is actually outskirter, with forum problems. I replied to you a few hours ago and made sure to post it, but somehow the reply did not show up in the forum. The other thing is that I had to log in through a different account, as the forum suddenly started rejecting my password yesterday. I requested a new password and the system indicated it had sent one, but the e-mail never arrived.
