This Python script for XChat replaces links like this: [[de:Linux]] with the corresponding URL, when either you or someone else types them. It requires XChat 2.0.6 or later.

To install it, copy the text below and save it into a file called wmlinksubber.py in your xchat directory and then start/restart XChat, or load it via the menu Window -> Plugins and Scripts....
XChat directories:

  1. Unix-based systems
    1. most likely ~/.xchat or ~/.xchat2
  2. Windows
    1. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\X-Chat 2\

If you don't want it to replace text which you type, then place a # at the beginning of the line EVENTS.append(("Your Message", 1)), and reload the plugin with the Window -> Plugins and Scripts... menu, if it is already loaded.

Script is available on author's subpage:

If you receive an error to the effect of "so and so is not an ASCII character", add the line "# coding=utf-8" to the head of the script.

m:User:Mike.lifeguard/stalkwords.pl is a Perl script for XChat which allows you to have regex stalkwords, which gets around a bug. See the talk page for installation
