How to use "markdown syntax for autolinks"?

Created on 23 August 2025, 23 days ago

Problem/Motivation

The help text of the markdown flavors mention "Markdown syntax for autolinks". I wonder if that is usable in drupal? At least I couldn't figure out how it works from trying. And: Thanks for the great module!

    @anruether -

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Yes, I believe that autolinks work as advertised in Markdown Easy.

    To confirm: create a text format that uses only the Markdown Easy filter with either the GitHub or Smorgasbord flavor, then create a node that uses your new text format an add content that includes a URL like "This is a URL: https://drupal.org". Save and view the node and the drupal.org text should be a link - this is autolinking in action.

    Your question did spur me to confirm that I had the documentation correct - which I did not, so thanks for that! It is fixed now.

    Please let me know if this all makes sense so we can mark this issue as closed.

    thanks,

    Ah, thanks! I could have checked the official docs, thanks for the link.
    I was thinking/hoping that's something like wiki-links where you just type in the node title in double square brakets (maybe even with autocomplete) and the link will be created. Im using it in obsidian and it's very handy.
    Thanks for the info, it makes sense!
