Syntax

Syntax is similar to normal syntax for a link, [[URL]].

Just insert '>' before URL to make [[>URL]].

  *The laziest way
    *[[>http://www.yahoo.com/]]

  *Title defined
    *[[>http://www.yahoo.com/|GO YAHOO]]

  *Whitespace instead of pipe
    *[[>http://www.google.com/ Google]]

This plugin requires ZendFramework and SQLite

This plugin needs ZendFramework and PHP 5.1 or later. Place ZendFramework in your server and set appropriate include_path in php.ini. SQLite is used for caching URLs and titles. A sole SQLite file is in data/cache directory.

You can confirm the cached URLs by using [[>list_cache]]. You can also clear the cache by using [[>clear_cache]].
