Rendering links from user input

["semerau@hotmail.com" <se...@hotmail.com>]

Does anyone have a way to render links that a user inputs to show up as actual links when that user input is displayed on the screen?For example, if in a textarea I input http://www.cnn.com, and then I display what I entered on another page, how can I automatically have the html be <a href="http://www.cnn.com">http://www.cnn.com</a> ? Thanks

You can't have that automatically.
Either post-process the submitted text, adding the links and store it
afterwards,
or create a component (something like SmartInsert) that does this work
(on display) for you.
