Hi there,
In the archives, I have seen on and off references to a new, extensible
syntax that would go beyond /italic/, *bold* and =code=, but I have seen no
traces of seeing it implemented.
For the time being, therefore I am settling on having different linktypes
coming up in different colors, which I hope is doable, but again, I found no
immediate solution. I wonder if somebody has an idea of how to go about
this. What I would like to see is that, for example:
[[file://path/to/my file][myfile]] comes out visibly different from
[[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file][myfile]] , for example the one in
red, the other in blue.
Any help appreciated,
Chris

For links with a description I always just repeat the protocol tag
there manually:
[[file://path/to/my file][file: myfile]]
[[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file][http: myfile]]
Together with the space after the colon this shows, also immediately,
if you look only at the link description or at the link itself:
[[file://path/to/my file]]
[[http://www.example.com/path/to/my file]]
This color-independent solution works even if colors would not be
available occasionally like with some terminal configs.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your suggestion. However, I would prefer not to clutter the
text with repeating the protocol there. Also, the example I gave is mainly
for illustration, in the way I use it, the description would not show the
filename, but some other text.

The easiest way to figure out the protocol is to "pretend" that you are
editing the link and thereby have the curtain raised a bit to reveal the
backstage. Do a C-c C-l or M-x org-insert-link RET (with cursor right
over the link) followed by 'C-g'ing.
If you are willing to hack something together, here is a possible entry
points for attack. With M-x highlight-regexp you could add persistent
regexp patterns for fontification.
1. Do a M-x describe-text-properties RET on a link to see what is under
the hood.
For example in one of my links I see
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Text content at position 509:
There are text properties here:
face org-link
font-lock-multiline t
fontified t
help-echo "LINK: file:src/org-jambu/lisp/org-odt.el"
keymap [Show]
mouse-face highlight
org-no-flyspell t
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
2. Start with org-descriptive-links set to nil (makes all components of
link visible)
3. Start with org-bracket-link-analytic-regexp as a starting regexp
which needs to be fine grained into say web urls, file urls etc etc
4. See org-activate-bracket-links for ideas on how org accomplishes
highlighting correctly.
C-h hi-lock-mode
C-h f highlight-regexp
C-h v hi-lock-file-patterns-policy
C-h v org-descriptive-links
C-h v org-angle-link-re
C-h v org-bracket-link-regexp
C-h v org-bracket-link-analytic-regexp
C-h f org-activate- <TAB> (look for functions like
org-activate-bracket-links etc)
