You mean, when the characters that immediately precede "://" are in some defined list like "ftp", "http" etc? Ok, from a quick test, I see that we recognise http, ftp, https, gopher, and mailto, but not vrml or unsurprisingly file.
And presumably the 9 characters is counting the case https://a
Btw, anyone want another funny corner case (as I gather these things are called?) http:// <- not recognised as a "magic word" http://. <- recognised as a "magic word", but only the "http://" is linked - the . isn't.
Heh. Are we going to put that in the formal grammar?
I don't think we would need to.
That's not actually "part of wikitext". It's a special case, implemented by the browser in a late pass to make users' lives easier, as several other things are which are not "really" part of wikitext.
Strictly speaking, parser functions aren't part of wikitext either, I don't think...
