NAME
    Kwiki::ShortcutLinks - WAFL-phrase shortcuts for arbitrary web links

SYNOPSIS
     $ cpan Kwiki::ShortcutLinks
     $ cd /path/to/kwiki
     $ echo "Kwiki::ShortcutLinks" >> plugins
     $ kwiki -update
     $ vi shortcuts.yaml
     $ kwiki -update

DESCRIPTION
    This plugin allows the Kwiki maintainer to define a series of short-cut
    wafl phrases via a simple config file.

    When the plugin is installed and added to Kwiki via "kwiki -update", a
    default "shortcuts.yaml" file is created. This can be edited and added
    to as necessary. "kwiki -update" must be run again after adding,
    renaming or deleting shortcuts.

    The example entry:

      google:   http://www.google.com/search?q=

    adds support for the wafl phrase "{google:...}", for example:

      Search Google for: {google:Kwiki}

    will render as:

      Search Google for: <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Kwiki">Kwiki</a>

    If the short-cut definition contains extra words, these will be
    prepended to the rendered link. For example:

      rt:       http://ticket-serv/Ticket/Display.html?id= RT Ticket

    will render "{rt:1234}" as:

      <a href="http://ticket-serv/Ticket/Display.html?id=1234">RT Ticket 1234</a>

    The shortcut can contain the string %s, which will be replaced by the
    wafl phrase arguments. (If there is no %s, the arguments are appended to
    the shortcut expansion, as in the examples above.) So the config entry:

      wikipedia: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=%s&go=Go

    and the shortcut "{wikipedia:Cambridge}" will render as

      <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=Cambridge&go=Go">Cambridge</a>
