InsertNewLink

This plugin inserts a link to a non-existing page at the text cursor's current position. This is useful when you need to create a new cross-linked page but haven't figured out the name of it. It's based on, and works in conjunction with, the autoNew extension.

The plugin has been tested and verified for wikidPad versions:

• 1.9rc04
• 2.0beta03-beta04
