showdown.min.js interprets underscore in http links as italic

[linw789]

<script type="text/javascript" src="showdown.min.js"></script>
<script>
    showdownMarker = new showdown.Converter({tasklists: "true"})
    let testDivElem = document.querySelector("#testdiv");
    testDivElem.innerHTML = showdownMarker.makeHtml("http://test_web_page.html");
</script>

The processed html will become something like this:
<p>http://test<em>web</em>page.html</p>
Event if simplifiedAutoLink is turned on.
This is found in the version 1.7.5.

Try the option literalmidwordunserscores

As stated in the documentation...

literalMidWordUnderscores: (boolean) [default false] Turning this on will stop showdown from interpreting underscores in the middle of words as <em> and <strong> and instead treat them as literal underscores.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that underscores in http links are interpreted correctly in un-minified version. I tried it in the demo page. So I guess minifying the js files somehow introduced this bug?

As I stated in my answer, you need to use the option literalMidWordUnderscores to prevent mid sentence underscores to be parsed as <em>.

If you check the options in the demo page (black panel on the left), you will see that, by default, literalMidWordUnderscores and simplifiedAutoLinks are turned on.

so this will work...

showdownMarker = new showdown.Converter({
    tasklists: true,
    simplifiedAutoLinks: true,
    literalMidWordUnderscores: true 
});
let testDivElem = document.querySelector("#testdiv");
testDivElem.innerHTML = showdownMarker.makeHtml("http://test_web_page.html");

Thanks for the reply. Now I see where my confusion is.

In the demo page the first two link examples are parsed as raw texts and that's why even if I turned off literalMidWordUnderscores option the underscores are not re-interpreted.

Sorry about the time wasted.

Showdown is now smarter fetching links. You should be able to use simplifiedAutoLinks without literalMidWordUnderscores to parse links such as http://www.example.com/some__foo__bar
