===== Installation =====

I tested this and it seems to work, but no guarantees.  This requires both Local Explorer Chrome plugins and Windows integration modules, which I did not write and have no responsibility for.  They work for me, but use at your own risk!

:!: **External requirements:** This plugin requires the following additional components that must be installed separately: 
  * [[https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/local-explorer-open-file/eokekhgpaakbkfkmjjcbffibkencdfkl|Local Explorer Chrome plugin]]
  * [[http://goo.gl/trX9bB|Local Explorer integration module]]

Install the plugin using the [[plugin:plugin|Plugin Manager]] and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to [[:Plugins]] on how to install plugins manually.

===== Examples/Usage =====

Links look like this:

''<nowiki>[[localexplorer>C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\|Documents folder]]</nowiki>''

''<nowiki>[[localexplorer>C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\book.pdf|Book in Documents Folder]]</nowiki>''

This is rendered to HTML as:

''<nowiki><a href="localexplorer:C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\">Documents folder</a></nowiki>''

If you have the required Chrome or Edge plugin and the Windows integration module, the link should open the folder (or file) according to the path.

===== Syntax =====

''<nowiki>[[localexplorer></nowiki>//path//|//title// (optional)<nowiki>]]</nowiki>''

===== Development =====

I created this using ChatGPT, so I'm not sure I can help you if you have any suggestions or issues.
