HTML Links - Hyperlinks

HTML links are hyperlinks.

You can click on a link and jump to another document.

When you move the mouse over a link, the mouse arrow will turn into a little hand.

Note: A link does not have to be text. It can be an image or any other HTML element.

In HTML, links are defined with the <a> tag:

<a href="url">link text</a>

Let's begun:
now iam using this codes (jQuery):

// Auto Hyperlinker
$('#feed').ready(function(){ //parent container
    // Get each div
    $('.content').each(function(){ //contents container
        // Get the content
        var str = $(this).html();
        // Set the regex string
        var regex = /(https?:\/\/([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(\/([\w\/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)/ig
        // Replace plain text links by hyperlinks
        var replaced_text = str.replace(regex, "<a href='$1' target='_blank'>$1</a>");
        // Echo link
        $(this).html(replaced_text);
    });
});
