@TomAugspurger (I recall you doing some work on conditional html formatting, though orthogonal to this affect API)

@lexual can you rebase

@lexual can you rebase / update

[jreback]

pls see comments on #9880

[jreback]

IOW this needs to have a global option (that defaults to False)

[jreback]

closing, but if you would like to continue working on this pls reopen

[lexual]

I have rebased, but don't have permissions to re-open I believe.

Please advise next steps to get it merged.

Apologies for long absence ;)

@lexual this is more appropriate as a method in df.style for #10250

e.g.

df.style.show_urls_as_links() or something. You want to do a PR against @TomAugspurger branch for that?

And the idea is that a style can be created that can be .set as a style (or a default), so you can simply 'use' a style as the default and build on it.

@lexual let me know if you want to do that PR agains my branch in #10250, it will actually be quite simple thanks to jinja.

Right now in the Jinja template I've got a check for if the value is a number or not. Jinja has a urlize filter that you can apply to the else block.

We will need a more general way of applying arbitrary tags / modify the template, but that could work for now.

@TomAugspurger yep, I'll try to take a look when I get a chance.
