 * Hi!
 * Thanks for the amazing plugin.
 * I’d like to know how to make certain strings or character sequences get into 
   the Exceptions?
 * For example, I’d like sequences like as `[PDF]` or `[source]`, to which links
   have been added, to be processed as internal links.
 * Thanks in advance for the answer.

 * Hi,
    Sorry, we don’t have that option. You can only exclude links by URL.
