Avoid formatting of links?

Rasmus Vedel_hm073a

Hi.

How do I avoid automatic formatting of links?

What I do

In any confluence or jira text edit box, I type in a link (eg www.savethechildren.net).

(Strangely enough not here???)

What happens

The link automatically change formatting to the title of the webpage (in this example: Save the Children International)

What I want

In general I'm happy about the change-to-title, but sometimes it doesn't make sense, and just confuses the reader.

I want the ability to type a url, which DOESN'T change to the title of the webpage.

What have I tried

Best solution so far, is to type the url as code, which would be

www.savethechildren.net

but that is (as you see...) not optimal.

I have also tried different formats of other formatting, like

[](www.savethechildren.net)

(www.savethechildren.net)

and a lot of others.

Our setup

We are running on Confluence 1000.0.0-e79a218a670b (Cloud)

Hi @Rasmus Vedel

Hi have a page called "Date Picker". When I copy the link and paste it to another page, it's changing to the title "Date Picker".

But there I can change some settings:

Select "Display as Link" to show the link. Or change the text which should be displayed in the edit options.

Hope this helped you.

Regards, Dominic

YES!!! Thanks.

For others: The date picker shows up when I type the link, and afterwards click at it.

There needs to be a way to disable this by default. The majority of our documentation is domain information, this is very annoying for us.

The unformatting of every single URL is actually killing my nerves. If you copy a block of text, Confluence starts to format each and every URL. I can hardly continue to work on the page while this is in progress, it's an extreme annoying efficiency killer. I would like to be able to switch off URL formatting completely and permanetntly, either on my account or on space level.
