Raw URLs not linked in the HTML export

šŸ›Bugs
#1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a Dynalist node that consists of, or contains, a raw URL (means, not using the [linktext](url) Markdown formatting. For example the node content could be this, as entered into Dynalist:

    I am a node and I have this URL: https://example.com/

  2. Observe that Dynalist autolinks the raw URL after leaving edit mode of the node.

  3. Export the node to HTML using the nodeā€™s context menu.

Expected result

The raw URL should appear as a hyperlink in the HTML document. Because we expect the HTML document to carry over as many of the features and visuals seen in Dynalist as reasonably possible for a static document :slight_smile:

Actual result

The raw URL appears unlinked in the HTML output. Means, it is not clickable and has to be copy&pasted to the browserā€™s address bar manually to visit the link.

Additional comments

An obvious but also tedious workaround is to link every raw URL manually, using Markdown syntax, like this:

[http://example.com/](http://example.com/)

Good catch. Will add this issue to the tracker to fix.
