      I'm currently migrating lots of documentation into Confluence and it would be nice with a macro for automatic link creation (e.g. to external API documentation).

      Basically I would like some way for me to decorate class names that would make them links to the MSDN-style documentation generated by NDoc (which uses a well defined naming convention for the html files, and is thus an ideal target for a macro of some sort).

      It would also be nice if I could define link keywords, i.e. words that will always be converted to a link (with no additional formatting in the page source).
