How can I disable automatic links in JIRA comments?

[Bogdan Calmac]

JIRA automatically formats URLs as links and that's very convenient most of the time. But for those cases when this is not desired, how can it be disabled? How can I write http://google.com as plain text?

There's a similar question for Confluence (https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/33779/how-do-i-disable-automatic-link-in-a-confluence-page) mentionining {nolink:}, but that did not work in JIRA.

I don't think that's posisble unless you use the noformat macro.

[Bogdan Calmac]

noformat would put it in a box and on a new line, it's not what I was looking for. Are you sure it's not possible?

Insert an invisible zero width space in the URL, e.g. http:​//google.com appears as desired (although it doesn't work here)
