The current default behavior for Discourse is to automagically replace URLs with hyperlinks containing their title tags, e.g. when I paste https://github.com/discourse it shows up here as https://github.com/discourse (“Discourse · GitHub”) instead of as https://github.com/discourse.
Sometimes that behavior is OK, but I often need/prefer to use the original URL instead of the title tag as a hyperlink. The only way I know to do that is to paste the URL twice in Markdown, like this: [https://github.com/discourse](https://github.com/discourse).
That works, but it’s a hassle. The punctuation is finicky; I have to paste twice. Bleh.
Is there an easier or more convenient way to just paste an URL without having Discourse autoreplace it?
