+READ ME
+=======
+
+The Autolink module saves users from having to manually enter links for commonly used URLs.
+
+The module scans posts for a set of terms. Any term found is optionally replaced with some
+other text, and then automatically linked to its corresponding URL.
+
+The module uses Drupal's built in taxonomy feature, so you can organize your terms in a Drupal
+vocabulary. Autolink terms are represented with the taxonomy terms in the autolink vocabulary.
+The descriptions are used to provide the URL that the term should link to.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+This module has been tested with the 4.6.x version of Drupal. It will probably work with older
+versions - please let me know how you get on if you try it, so that I can update this documentation.
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+1.  Copy the autolink folder to the Drupal modules/ directory. Drupal should automatically
+    detect the module. Enable the module on the modules' administration page.
+
+2.  Autolink terms are managed as vocabularies within the categories module.
+
+    To get started with Autolink, create a new vocabulary on the
+    categories administration page. The vocabulary need not be associated
+    with any modules.
+
+3.  Next, you have to setup the input formats you want to use Autolink with.
+    At the input formats page select an input format to configure. Select the
+    Autolink filter checkbox and press Save configuration. Now select the
+    configure filters tab and select the vocabulary and apply other settings.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+This module uses a vocabulary to define a list of terms. When any of these
+terms occurs in some node text, a link is added. 
+
+You create autolink items by adding terms to the vocabulary that you created
+in step (2) of the installation instructions.
+
+For each term:
+
+-    the title of the term should be the text that should be linked
+-    the first line of the description should be the URL to link to
+-    an optional second line can contain text to replace the entry with
+-    an optional third line can contain text to insert into a rel attribute
+-    you can add synonyms - these will be replaced in the same way as the term's title would be
+
+The first line of the taxonomy term's description field is used to define
+the URL to link to.
+
+If a second line exists in the description field, it is used as text to
+replace the actual term. This allows you to use long terms in the text
+(to avoid accidental matching), but have the long term replaced by a shorter
+one in the actual rendered output, to make it more readable.
+
+As an example of why replacement text is useful, say we defined a term "Apple", to
+be linked to "http://www.apple.com". The danger with this is that an article 
+containing the word "Apple" in another context might inappropriately be linked to
+the Apple website. We could use a less ambiguous term, like "Apple Computer Inc.", 
+but we don't want that text to have to actually appear in all of our articles,
+because it is unnecessarily formal. The solution is do match for "Apple Computer Inc."
+in the article, but provide a replacement that converts it to "Apple" in the
+final output. Now it's unlikely to be matched incorrectly, but the text will still read ok.
+
+Any text placed on the third line will be inserted into a rel="" tag inside the link.
+This allows you, for example, to add XFN support to your autolinks.
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+I generally use this module to automatically link to names of people, companies and products
+that I often refer to in my blog posts.
+
+Linking _every_ instance of a particular word to the same place is obviously a bit of
+a blunt tool, and can lead to unexpected results. Many words obviously have more than
+one meaning or context, so something that is a product name might also be a company name,
+a band name, and a perfectly normal english word!
+
+There are a few ways to get round this problem. One is obviously to only define autolinks for
+terms that are totally unambiguous - e.g. Drupal. That's fine, but not that useful.
+
+Another is to use the replacement feature (see the example above in USAGE) so that the actual
+terms defined are quite unambigous, but the text that appears to readers still looks normal. So
+I might define a term for my friend Kevin Marks, which links to his website, but also define a replacement
+which replaces "Kevin Marks" with "Kevin" in the text. Clearly this has a down side too, since I now can't
+actually get the text "Kevin Marks" to appear anywhere, it will always be replaced with "Kevin"!
+
+Perhaps the safest solution is to use a prefix (or postfix) for every term which isn't likely to crop up
+accidentally. For example, if I make the search term "Alink Kevin Marks", and the replacement "Kevin" then
+I still get behaviour that I want, but I can also manually insert the text "Kevin Marks" if I want to - it
+won't be replaced by autolink because it doesn't include the prefix. The downside of this approach is that 
+the unfiltered text starts looking a bit weird!
