[Orgmode] Re: Suppress linkification of external links possible?

[Ulf Stegemann]

Thank you for all the quick responses :)

Unfortunately, none of the proposed solutions really applies to the
problem I have (That's however entirely my fault, I should have made
things a bit clearer.).

The workarounds (except for one) concentrate on making a link caused by a
literal invalid address to become a valid link. However, what I like to
achieve is some sort of escaping that prevents org-mode from generating
a link at all (especially for HTML exporting).

Works, but still creates a link.

Unfortunately, this isn't an option.

Goes in the same direction: a link is still created.

This would work (I guess), but is AFAIK to be set globally, thus
resulting in the loss of all other plain text links.

What I was originally looking for was some sort of escape
character/special markup that would prevent creating links at all, like
\http://...\ . This would also allow us to use other markups on plain
text links, something that - AFAIK - is currently not possible (like
=\http:...\=).
