Automatically convert URLs to links in Quill

quill-magic-url

Looking for maintainer: If anyone would like to take over responsibility for this plugin or create a new one for Quill 2.x, please let me know.

Checks for URLs and mail addresses during typing and pasting and automatically converts them to links and normalizes the links URL.

Thanks to @LFDM for the groundwork with quill-auto-links.

You can find a demo page here.
