Autolink plugin

The Autolink plugin automatically creates hyperlinks when a user types a valid, complete URL. For example www.example.com is converted to http://www.example.com.

Note that this option won’t convert incomplete URLs. For example example.com would remain as unlinked text and URLs must include www to be automatically converted.

Pasted URLs are automatically converted to a elements by TinyMCE’s core code, not by the autolink plugin. Therefore, behaviour and settings described here do not apply to pasted links.

Basic setup

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'autolink'
});

Options

This option allows you to set a default target value for links when inserting/editing a link via the link dialog. If the value of default_link_target matches a value specified by the target_list option, that item will be set as the default item for the targets dropdown in the link dialog.

This option also applies to the autolink plugin.

Type: String

Example: Using default_link_target

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'link',
  menubar: 'insert',
  toolbar: 'link',
  default_link_target: '_blank'
});

This option allows you to set a default protocol for links when inserting/editing a link via the link dialog. The protocol will apply to any links where the protocol has not been specified and the prefix prompt has been accepted.

This option also applies to the autolink plugin.

Type: String

Default Value: 'http'

Example: Using link_default_protocol

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'link',
  menubar: 'insert',
  toolbar: 'link',
  link_default_protocol: 'https'
});
