I have a memory from somewhere that one can make URLs in text files 'clickable' when viewing the text file in a browser. I even have a sample file:- http://home.isbd.net/chris/xxx.txt which I'm sure I remember trying once and being surprised when it worked. (I think I maybe had to double click the link)
In Firefox-based browsers, double-left-click, then middle-click.
It's actually just copy-paste and taking advantage of what Firefox does if you paste a URL into the display area.
Hope that helps,
Thanks, yes, maybe that was it. I think the Linkification extension is better still but the above is worth remembering.
