So if its just a URL without the []() syntax it would be, perhaps green, and links with it could stay blue. Good semantic to avoid spam or malware links.

Anyway, have any of you seen today’s XKCD? https://xkcd.com/3104

    ^https?://[a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+(/[^\s]*)?$

    Been a while since I’ve written regex and it could certainly be a little bit more correct. But whatever Voyager already uses to find URLs in a text to turn into a link should suffice.

        For that you strip the string to be tested of all non-ASCII chars before you run the regex.

        But I see what you mean. I just fear that if links could be shown in different equally non-threatening colors users wouldn’t know what to do with that information.
