 * Great plugin and works as described.
   I am asking if it is supposed to work on
   pseudo classes like ::before and ::after? Currently not working for me. Everywhere
   else it works like a charm.Thanks for your good work 🙂

 * Hello hammondegs,
 * thank you for your review.
 * The plugin uses the [the_content](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/the_content/)
   WordPress filter to apply the automatic links on the post content. This process
   is executed on the server side with PHP.
 * Manipulating the content created with the `::before` and `::after` pseudo selector
   would require the use of JavaScript. However, the plugin doesn’t use JavaScript
   because the automatic links would not be available in that case to the page HTML
   and as a consequence to the search engines.
