[TxMt] Re: HTML output: Open link in default browser?

Thanks, I didn't know about |TextMate.system(...)| -- that's exactly what I was looking for. ?

It took a while until I got the escaping right, here's what I ended up with:

|def link_to(title, local_path) url =URI.escape("file://#{local_path}") title =CGI.escape_html(title) %{<a onclick='TextMate.system("open#{Shellwords.escape(url)}"); return false;' href='#{url}'>#{title}</a>} end |

Gist with the complete setup: https://gist.github.com/noniq/9289157

Given that you are modifying the generated output, you can change the link to use JavaScript and TextMate.system(), example:

|<script> function open_url(url) { TextMate.system("open '" + url + "'"); } </script>

<a href="#" onClick="open_url('http://macromates.com/'); return true;">Open Website</a> |
