Paste URL's as plain text, without hotlink

I paste lots of links in my notes, and I would sure love it if there was a on-off setting that said “paste as plain text” or “paste a link”. Maybe make them clickable on a case by case basis?

Autolinks is a feature part of Github Flavored Markdown. You have to use CSS customization (or JavaScript code) to disable autolinks.

6.9Autolinks (extension)

GFM enables the autolink extension, where autolinks will be recognised in a greater number of conditions.

Autolinks can also be constructed without requiring the use of < and to > to delimit them, although they will be recognized under a smaller set of circumstances. All such recognized autolinks can only come at the beginning of a line, after whitespace, or any of the delimiting characters *, _, ~, and (.

An extended www autolink will be recognized when the text www. is found followed by a valid domain. A valid domain consists of segments of alphanumeric characters, underscores (_) and hyphens (-) separated by periods (.). There must be at least one period, and no underscores may be present in the last two segments of the domain.

The scheme http will be inserted automatically:

Example 622

www.commonmark.org
<p><a href="http://www.commonmark.org">www.commonmark.org</a></p>
