+Link
+====
+
+Opens links in a browser.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+First use case: local use
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you use poezio on your workstation, this is for you.
+You only have to load the plugin:
+
+==============
+
+ /load link
+
+==============
+
+Second use case: remote use
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you use poezio through SSH, this is for you.
+
+NOTE: Small explanation: Poezio will create a
+https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe[Unix FIFO] and send the commands in,
+and you will have to run a dæmon locally with ssh, to get those commands.
+
+First, set the _exec_remote_ option in the config file to _true_. Then select
+the directory you want to put the fifo in (default is the current
+ directory, _./_), the _poezio.fifo_ file will be created there.
+
+After that, load the plugin:
+
+============
+
+ /load link
+
+============
+
+And open a link with _/link_ (as described below), this will create the FIFO.
+
+You need to grab poezio’s sources on your client computer, or at least the
+http://gitweb.louiz.org/?p=poezio;a=blob_plain;f=src/daemon.py;hb=HEAD[daemon.py]
+file.
+
+Finally, on your client computer, run the ssh command:
+
+============
+
+ ssh toto@example.org "cat ~/poezio/poezio.fifo" | python3 daemon.py
+
+===========
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+This plugin adds a _/link_ command that will open the links in _firefox_. If
+you want to use another browser, you can use the _/set_ command  to change the
+_browser_ option in the config file.
+
+
+_/link_ without argument will open the last received link, if any is found.
+If an integer argument is given, /link will go back gradually in the buffer
+to open the previous link, and so on.
+
+
+If you are scrolling in the buffer, poezio will open the links starting from
+the first you can see. (although there are some problems with multiline
+messages).
