+ | === Performance === | ||
+ | |||
+ | I tested with 500 regular expression matches, with no noticeable impact on performance. If you scale to several thousand, I recommend limiting the number of regular expression links. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Nerd speak== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The asymptotic complexity of this plugin is O(r*u + s), where r is the total number of configured links with regular expression characters, s is the number of configured links without regular expression characters, and u is the number of unique matched text strings on the page. This means that performance is only minimally impacted by non-regex entries, and becomes worse the more regex entries you have, and the more times those entries appear on the page. | ||

- | * Optionally only link the first occurrence on the page. | + | * If you have more than 500 or so configured links, you reach the maximum number of hooks DokuWiki can handle. This can be fixed by turning this into an action plugin, or by modifying DokuWiki' |
- | * Instead of the link opening up the page, open a pop-up containing the abstract. From there, the user can click to the page. | + | |
