Turns all urls into clickable links. If a block is given, each url is yielded and the result is used as the link text. Example:

  auto_link_urls(post.body, :all, :target => '_blank') do |text|
    truncate(text, 15)
  end

        def auto_link_urls(text, href_options = {})
          extra_options = tag_options(href_options.stringify_keys) || ""
          text.gsub(AUTO_LINK_RE) do
            all, a, b, c, d = $&, $1, $2, $3, $5
            if a =~ /<a\s/i # don't replace URL's that are already linked
              all
            else
              text = b + c
              text = yield(text) if block_given?
              %(#{a}<a href="#{b=="www."?"http://www.":b}#{c}"#{extra_options}>#{text}</a>#{d})
            end
          end
        end
