Autolink in kramdown?

[jleclanche]

In redcarpet, Jekyll Now enabled the autolink extension by default which was really useful. I can't find a way to enable it for kramdown, though. Any ideas?

[jleclanche]

So apparently kramdown's autolink is enabled by default but its syntax is different and the url must be enclosed in braces.

The talk is about this: http://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html#automatic-links

Is it possible to configure Kramdown to detect link without braces?

Like there on GitHub: http://example.com

… the url must be enclosed in braces.

I think the Kramdown automatic links syntax is angle brackets, rather than braces, like this: <https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now/issues/459>.

Why is Kramdown claiming to be GFM-compatible if the autolinking doesn't work the same way

Can we re-open this ?

kramdown:
  input: GFM

The GFM compatibility is a lie, kramdown has its own syntax.

Can you add an option to remove the need of angle brackets if you don't want to do it the default behavior? So it will be compatible with commonMark, GFM, etc. pretty 99% of markdown parser other than the strict original ones which don't have autolinks or table, or any extension.
