Breaking Links

Just sharing, but I’d just like to point out a method of breaking links that I’d suggest to others. If you disable the “Automatically parse links in text” feature, people who quote your post will likely accidentally re-convert it into a clickable link. But alternately, if you put a bunch of random spaces in it, that’s a bit annoying to correct. Instead, bold the “http” and both of these issues disappear.

Or use the “noparse” tags:

[noparse]http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/[/noparse]

Ohoh, I missed the introduction of that.
