Improvement: DataFrame.to_html() to create hyperlinks

[michaelaye]

When the data value is a string that represents an URL, have DataFrame.to_html() create hyperlinks out of them in the resulting html file.

Hi all-

I'm trying to implement this, as it could be useful. Anyways, it looks like all that would need to be done is add a check if is valid url in write_tr (core/format.py) and if so, add the appropriate <a> tag. However, I was wondering if there is a is_valid_url type function elsewhere that I could import to use as a check?

but may want to filter out url-like first (e.g. .startswith('http') or something first
