Recognizing http://foo/bar/ isn't "lax", it's literally correct:
https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/url-spec.txt Also, the context between GitHub and Zim Wiki is different (coding for what are often public projects vs. note taking). Furthermore, Zim Wiki syntax isn't markdown-based so I don't see any Markdown flavor as authoritative for Zim. I think 0.68 got it right. - Chuck On Wed, May 5, 2021 at 1:07 AM Jaap Karssenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > I think a fix could be implemented by making paste of a URL a special > case.
