Is there a way to avoid certain tags?

It would be nice if linkify could avoid certain tags. For example do not linkify what's inside <code> or pre tags.

Hmm, not yet, but that's a great suggestion. Thanks @deathg0d !

Also not <style>. I tried to do this. And it works as a script, but not with linkify():

jQuery('#container *').not( jQuery('style') ).each(function(){
    jQuery(this).linkify();
    //TESTING
    //jQuery(this).addClass('i-am-not-a-style-element');
});

plus one this, it would be great to be able to add an attribute or class to instruct linkify to ignore a link
e.g.

<span data-nolinkify class="nolinkify">Everything in here that matches www.example.com is ignored</span>

I would like to use linkify on something like <img class="emojione" alt="😄" src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/png/1F604.png?v=1.2.4"/> which makes anything unreadable. :/
