Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of LinkifyFilter

               v1
+The following filter will parse out links from the text passed to it and generate anchor tags for them. It will also insert spaces into the textual part of the link, so that long links break properly. Also, you may pass an argument to the filter, specifying the `class` attribute of the link.
+{{{
+from django import template
+import re
+register = template.Library()
+regex = re.compile( r'(([a-zA-Z]+)://[^ \t\n\r]+)', re.MULTILINE )
+def linkify( value, arg = '' ):

+            return s
+        for k in range( len(s) / chars ):
