# MD034 - Bare URL used Tags: links, url Aliases: no-bare-urls This rule is triggered whenever a URL is given that isn't surrounded by angle brackets: For more information, see http://www.example.com/. To fix this, add angle brackets around the URL: For more information, see . Rationale: Without angle brackets, the URL isn't converted into a link in many markdown parsers. Note: if you do want a bare URL without it being converted into a link, enclose it in a code block, otherwise in some markdown parsers it _will_ be converted: `http://www.example.com`
