[ckan-dev] How to avoid hyperlink creation when writing down URIs in markdown?

[Jason Tan]

HI There,

Just a wild guess:
`http://someurl.com` (the marks are backticks - this is the inline code
markup so it might cause the font to change to monospace)
http://someurl.com    : and / are the HTML special
characters for : and / respectively, they should cause the characters they
represent to be rendered and not interpreted.
