Links starting with www.

[Andy6792]

Links that start with www. and have no http or https at the front don't get linkified.

Does anyone know if there is a reason for this?

This is by design and complying with commonmark, autolinking works only for complete (i.e. scheme://host) links.

www.google.it

Since github autolinks partial URLs, we could consider to include this in GFM mode, but autolinking partial URLs is easily error prone.

@Feder1co5oave: This is great detail. Think I'll add parser to the label set as well. So, this would be something like:

annoying, category: links, parser: GFM

Annoying just because it is part of a spec we are actively targeting, yeah? And, as you say, autolinking can be error prone.

Definitely annoying 😋
