jQuery Linkify plugin: Can't handle links that end in parenthesis

I'm using this great plugin: https://github.com/maranomynet/linkify/blob/master/1.0/jquery.linkify-1.0.js

to link text manipulating the dom. The problem is with links like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather_(novel)

The link will be "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather_(novel"

What could I change in the linkify code to handle parenthesis, etc?

Thanks!

PS: Hey, it seems that Stackoverflow could use this too! haha ;)

EDIT:

I just saw the post on DaringFireball, it's working great... The problem is with simple URLs like www.google.com (i think it has to do with the first regex for "noProtocolUrl". This is what I've got right now:

var noProtocolUrl = /(^|["'(\s]|<)(www\..+?\..+?)((?:[:?]|\.+)?(?:\s|$)|>|[)"',])/g,
    httpOrMailtoUrl = /\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:\/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}\/)(?:(?:[^\s()<>.]+[.]?)+|\((?:[^\s()<>]+|(?:\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\((?:[^\s()<>]+|(?:\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))/gi,
        linkifier = function (html) {
            return FormatLink(html
      开发者_运维问答                  .replace(noProtocolUrl, '$1<a href="<``>://$2" rel="nofollow external" class="external_link">$2</a>$3')  // NOTE: we escape `"http` as `"<``>` to make sure `httpOrMailtoUrl` below doesn't find it as a false-positive
                        .replace(httpOrMailtoUrl, '<a href="$1" rel="nofollow external" class="external_link">$1</a>')
                        .replace(/"<``>/g, '"http'));  // reinsert `"http`
        },

With "www.facebook.com" I get this (with the rel and class attributes just as text next to the link:

www.facebook.com" rel="nofollow external" class="external_link">www.facebook.com

From what I've found, the regex expression found here (Originally created by John Gruber of Daring Fireball, modified by naren1012) seems to do the trick.

To implement, replace this code:

 var noProtocolUrl = /(^|["'(\s]|<)(www\..+?\..+?)((?:[:?]|\.+)?(?:\s|$)|>|[)"',])/g,
      httpOrMailtoUrl = /(^|["'(\s]|<)((?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/|mailto:).+?)((?:[:?]|\.+)?(?:\s|$)|>|[)"',])/g,
      linkifier = function ( html ) {
          return html
                      .replace( noProtocolUrl, '$1<a href="<``>://$2">$2</a>$3' )  // NOTE: we escape `"http` as `"<``>` to make sure `httpOrMailtoUrl` below doesn't find it as a false-positive
                      .replace( httpOrMailtoUrl, '$1<a href="$2">$2</a>$3' )
                      .replace( /"<``>/g, '"http' );  // reinsert `"http`
        },

With this code:

 var noProtocolUrl = /(^|["'(\s]|<)(www\..+?\..+?)((?:[:?]|\.+)?(?:\s|$)|>|[)"',])/g,
  httpOrMailtoUrl = /\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:\/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}\/)(?:(?:[^\s()<>.]+[.]?)+|\((?:[^\s()<>]+|(?:\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\((?:[^\s()<>]+|(?:\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»����]))/gi,
      linkifier = function ( html ) {
          return html
                      .replace( noProtocolUrl, '$1<a href="<``>://$2">$2</a>$3' )  // NOTE: we escape `"http` as `"<``>` to make sure `httpOrMailtoUrl` below doesn't find it as a false-positive
                      .replace(httpOrMailtoUrl, '<a href="$1">$1</a>')
                      .replace( /"<``>/g, '"http' );  // reinsert `"http`
        },
