Overview
A Flutter package that enables the creation of selectable and tappable inline links within text. It automatically detects URLs, emails, and phone numbers in a string and renders them as interactive elements while preserving text selection capabilities. Ideal for rich text displays where users need to interact with embedded links without losing the ability to copy or highlight text. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
