When using the part for https://dba.stackexchange.com/q/330357/272354: in a question, the trailing colon is discarded. IMHO it should be obvious that the colon cannot be part of the URL (link), so it should follow the encoded URL link text instead (or at least be part of the URL link text).

This is how that code snippet renders:

for Error "UNIQUE constraint failed" with composite primary key:

    Related, but somewhat orthogonal to your request– you can always wrap bare URLs in angled brackets to explicitly tell the formatter where the URL begins & ends (<https://dba.stackexchange.com/q/330357/272354>). This doesn't interfere with the magic that replaces bare Stack post URLs with the question title, either. Commented Aug 16, 2023 at 15:13

  • @zcoop98 That's why I titled it "Automatic URL parser"; links marked manually probably all work correctly. Commented Aug 17, 2023 at 6:26

    Cue bug reports about bare links to <felixcloutier.com/x86/rcl:rcr:rol:ror> not working. Commented Aug 17, 2023 at 10:02
