Auto-linkify Markdown, too

[rugk]

In #335 I noticed that actually Markdown does not auto-link links as plain text does. Does not showdown do so?

Maybe we just need to enable it there – or apply our own "linkifier".

I know it's not the "original" Markdown and just the one you are used to from GitHub etc., but I guess it is a bit counterproductive that plain text has this feature while markdown mode has not, i.e. regarding this feature plain-text has more features than Markdown… 🤔

Are you referring to simplifiedAutoLink ? There should be support for markdown links without this enabled. If it's markdown anyway, should the format method not have preference instead of auto converting everything to a link

[rugk]

It's just about converting "https://example.com" automatically to a link, when this is mentioned in a Markdown file.

So yes it is about simplifiedAutoLink. And I would enable excludeTrailingPunctuationFromURLs.

Go for it or mark it with 1.4 milestone, if you don't have time right now.
