trying to convert simple markup to html, works fine with  
the commands below but hyperlinks (e.g. http:// or mailto:)  
in the markup aren’t transferred to html (e.g. ).  
Anything missing?

require ‘rdoc/markup/simple\_markup’  
require ‘rdoc/markup/simple\_markup/to\_html’  
markup = SM::SimpleMarkup.new  
formatter = SM::ToHtml.new  
puts markup.convert(ARGF.read, formatter)

ok, I found the “class HyperlinkHtml \< SM::ToHtml” in  
“rdoc/generators/html\_generator.rb” which makes the job  
with some minor modifications.
