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

Wed Dec 11 12:29:01 UTC 2013

Hello Hendrik, thanks for the precise info!

Mark Wainwright (mark.wainwright at okfn.org) found a workaround to avoid the
automatic generation of links, you can see it here (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20492603/how-to-avoid-hyperlink-creation-when-writing-down-uris-in-markdown).

Thank you for your neat solution.
