Description
Mori should auto recognize wiki, email and url links.
Updates
But recognizing wiki links should be a preference option.
It would be nice if the wiki links didn't have to be CamelCase. Maybe recognize the title of a note "if the note title is in quotes" in the text? This would allow for any kind of note title formatting including spaces, numbers, etc. It would also make it easier for Mori to scan the text for the alternate link style.
Actually, a definable enclosing character would be better than just assuming a quote. If I write a Mori document and use wiki links that are enclosed in some predefined character that doesn't show up anywhere else then I could just search for that character and replace with a blank to quickly get rid of that enclosing character. This would be done (on a copy of the Mori file) before publishing, or printing, or exporting my document for use elsewhere.
As mentioned by another poster, all this linking should be optional. I may want URLs in my document that aren't linked etc.

I find it particularly galling that URLs aren't recognized, as this was the case in Hog Bay Notebook, so my imported databases now have dead links :(
In the following I'll ignore WikiLinks because Mori doesn't feel like that kind of program to me.
Probably 99% URLs aren't typed but pasted into Mori. Or imported from HBN files. So recognizing and making them rich need not take place while typing (NSTextView delegate, isn't it?) but only on getting chunks of text from other sources.
To a certain extent such a solution would be "cleaner" as it doesn't change the usual OSX text editing behaviour.
It might also be easier to implement.
I was actually using WikiLinks rather extensively in Hog Bay Notebook, and this is one of a couple of features that I miss from it.
"I find it particularly galling that URLs aren't recognized, as this was the case in Hog Bay Notebook, so my imported databases now have dead links :("
Hear Hear! All my imported notebooks have long list of saved links from which are now unusable. I'm sticking to Hog Bay note book until this is fixed. Otherwise, Mori is great.

Mori 1.3 should now recognize URL's and emails as they are typed, but for now I've decided not to handle wiki links. Instead my hope is that normal links will be easier to work with with addition of the "Make Link To > New Entry" command and so WikiLinks won't be so necessary. If WikiLinks are still wanted please add a new feature request.
