You found this in parser.awk:

sub(/((https?|ftp|gopher):\/\/|(mailto|news):)[^\t]*[^.,?;:'")\t]/, "<a 
href=\"&\">&</a>",field)

That line changes text like 

http://blah.blah.blah 

into 

<a href="http://blah.blah.blah">http://blah.blah.blah</a>

Is there a standard Wiki markup for naming the title of an external link?
