Suppress mailto automatic linking

31 posts

When including a git clone command in a literal block like git clone user@server:repo, Asciidoctor generates a mailto:user@server link.

This can be surpressed by prepending a backslash, but unlike URLs, the backslash makes it into the output.

Is this intended?

MT,

I can assure you that Asciidoctor is not generating a mailto link in a literal block (at least, not by default). It could be that this is being added sometime after Asciidoctor converts the document. Where are you seeing this happen?

Cheers,

-Dan

I misspoke: the problem occurs when encapsulating the git command with monospace. The literal block does indeed behave correctly.

See below for example. Both docbook5 and html output convert user@server.com to an email address.

= Git URL Test
First Last <first.last@company.com>

This document tests the rendering of git url's.

Git clone command with just server name shows up *correctly* as `git clone user@server:repo`.

Git clone command with domain shows up *incorrectly* with email address as `git clone user@server.com:repo`.

Literal block does behave correctly with domain:

....
git clone user@server.com:repo
....

Ah, in that case what you are looking for is literal monospace.

`+literal monospace+`.

The backticks alone only make the text monospace. They do not escape it.

For an explanation, see https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#literal-monospace
