How can I get Attach: links to display by default without the "Attach:" prefix?

Description

Add the following lines to your config.php or local customization file:

Markup('Attach', '>img',
  "/\\bAttach:([^\\s$UrlExcludeChars]*[^\\s.,?!$UrlExcludeChars])/e",
  "Keep(MakeLink(\$pagename,'$0','$1'),'L')");

This will cause Attach:something.txt to appear as "something.txt".

To have the "Attach:" to still appear when creating a new attachment (but not for an existing attachment), also add

$LinkUploadCreateFmt = "<a class='createlinktext'
  href='\$LinkUpload'>Attach:\$LinkText</a><a class='createlink'
  href='\$LinkUpload'>&nbsp;&Delta;</a>";

After this modification, authors can still create links with the "Attach:" displayed by using the double-bracket form of link (i.e., [[Attach:somepage.txt]]).

Notes

This modification has been applied to the Cookbook group on pmwiki.org.

One may also use

[[Attach:somepage.txt | sometext]]

or [[(Attach:)somefile.txt]]

to get the attachment link shown with another text.
