Each potential link is made up of a key word or phrase that should be linked along with an HTML command that will create the link. The keyword and the HTML command are separated by a tab.
For example, a good starting place for an AutoLink document would be:
Mosaic <A HREF="http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/NCSAMosaicHome.html">Mosaic</A> Netscape <A HREF="http://home.mcom.com/home/welcome.html">Netscape</A> Apple <A HREF="http://www.apple.com/">Apple</A>
Any article generated from an FDML document that AutoLinks this document will have the words "Mosaic", "Netscape", and "Apple" automatically HyperText linked to these places home pages. You may, of course, use any link you want to documents on or off your own MacHTTP server. All the AutoLink directive does is replace the words (or phrases) in the first column with the commands in the second.
Please note that AutoLinking, while quite fast, is the most computationally intensive function of NetForms. AutoLink documents with 1000 or more potential links have been tested with very reasonable response times (2 to 3 seconds or faster), especially on PowerMac computers, since NetForms runs native on these machines. However, be aware that an arbitrarily large number of potential links could result in performance degradation of your whole server.
