Node Alias Link Display
This module automatically converts internal links to node pages from their technical `/node/123` format to their user-friendly path aliases, improving SEO and readability. It works as a text filter that can be enabled for specific text formats.
Node Alias Link Display automatically replaces internal links in content that point to /node/{nid} with the corresponding path alias (e.g., /news/my-article). This improves the readability and SEO of your content by ensuring friendly URLs are always used, even when editors paste canonical node links.
