Smart linking of column data

If you have email addresses or web URLs in the data that you are displaying in columns of your table, then you can set the autolink="true" attribute in your display:column tag, and that will tell the display:table to automatically display those pieces of data as hyperlinks, you will not have to take any action to convert that data.

• Email addresses will be wrapped with a <a href="mailto:xxx">xxx</a> tag, where "xxx" is the email address that was detected.
• Web URLs will be wrapped with a <a href="xxx">xxx</a> tag, where "xxx" is the URL that was detected (it can be any valid URL type, http://, https://, ftp://, etc...)

If your column data has additional text, only the data that appears to be an email address or a URL will be linked (not the entire column).

Turning on autolink does carry a performance penalty, as each string has to be scanned for patterns and updated if it matches on an address or URL.
