body: <p>How to create automatic hyperlinks for urls in the text/string rendered on the view? 
  I have a page that renders user activity log and in that log/text/string there are some random   urls which I want to automatically hyperlink to open in a new browser window. There is this <code>auto_link</code> in ruby rails, how do I use that? </p>
  
  <pre><code>text = "User xyz accessed url - http://www.something.com on 04/13/2012 00:13:18GMT"
  
  &lt;%= "#{Text}" %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want this rendered with a hyperlink to the url. The URL could be anything anywhere in the text. </p>
