How do I display a link as plain text in a README file

I am writing a README file and I want to display the text "ASP.NET" in the file, but it displays as a link. Is there a way to force a URL (or text that looks like a URL) to display as plain text?

Solution

  • You have various ways to Disable Github-flavored Markdown autolinking

    For example:

    https://<!--This is a comment-->gist.github.com/<!--This is, too-->alexpeattie/4729247
# give:
https://gist.github.com/alexpeattie/4729247

    Try also a code block: `https://your/url`, if you don't mind the code presentation.
