Markdown Discuss - Dec 2008 - autolinking URL's

Hi,

Is there a way to have markdown automatically convert obvious (http,
mailto) URL's to links?

i.e: http://example.com -> <a
href="http://example.com>http://example.com</a>

Thanks,

Maybe I'm confused, but I've always just enclosed the url with angle  
brackets <> and it automatically becomes a clickable link displaying  
the url as the clickable text. Since I only use the php version of  
markdown, maybe that's just a feature there, but it works for me.

Once there was a time when all people believed in God and the church  
ruled.  This time is called the Dark Ages.
