  <title>Hyperlinks and email addresses</title>

  <p><app>Terminal</app> parses the terminal output and automatically detects
  snippets of text that are web addresses or email addresses. Web and email
  addresses are automatically highlighted when you point your cursor to the
  text, indicating that the link can be opened in an application.</p>

  <p>For example, you may see <output>http://www.gnome.org</output> or
  <output>username@example.com</output> generated as a part of terminal output by
  programs such as <app>wget</app> or <app>curl</app>.</p>
