How to prevent asciidoctorpdf from inserting mailto link in PDF

I am writing an asciidoc document and converting it to PDF using asciidoctorpdf. I am using the prepress option. When my document has an email address in it e.g., myname@example.com it appears as following in the PDF

I don't want the mailto portion to be displayed in the PDF. Thus I would like following output:

How can I do this?

In the case the email address is bare, I agree it shouldn't present the extra annotation. It's only necessary when the linked text does not match (meaning the email is not visible).

Please file an issue.

Best Regards,

I was wrong about the lack of a workaround. After studying the code, I found that the annotation will not be shown if you set the hide-uri-scheme attribute:

:hide-uri-scheme:

:media: prepress

[hidden email]

It should work regardless of whether hide-uri-scheme is set, which is what I will fix.

Re: How to prevent asciidoctorpdf from inserting mailto link in PDF

I run into this problem as well, although I don't specify an e-mail address.
I have: `ssh root@master.example.com` (in backtics, so it is literal text) and that gets
the `mailto` added to it as well. If I switch on `:hide-uri-scheme:` I loose all the `http[s]://` schemes
infront of all the URLs, which is even worse. I do get around by changing the inline to a code block, but that just doesn't look good.

You seem to be looking for something else, which is to escape what appears to be an email address from processing. If you want literal monospace, you need to use the `+...+` enclosure.

I have: `+ssh [hidden email]+`

The backticks only give you monospace. It's just formatting at that point.

See https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#literal-monospace

Yes, that works.

Thank you.
