Text in code blocks is linkified

[anoadragon453]

Description

Links that are part of a code block are linkified, which can make it hard to copy part of the text.

Example video:

Steps to reproduce

• Post something that will turn into a link in a code block
• Click it

While this might be nice for convenience, code blocks are supposed to not be processed in any way. Additionally, having things linkified can cause copying problems.

Though on the flip side it can be handy to click a link in a code block...

[n1trux]

this seems like an easy fix… can someone tell me where to patch it? Is there some code highlight JS doing this?

Perhaps something in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/blob/d820356990fc836bcdbfb65bc33d203f94f09e3a/src/linkify-matrix.js#L1-L0

Being able to click links starting with https:// is one thing. But linkifying the indico.modules.events (because .events is a valid TLD) in from indico.modules.events.registration.forms import RegistrationFormForm makes no sense whatsoever.

Same is happening for pkgs.ocamlPackages.shell in:

let
  pkgs = import <nixos-unstable> { };
in pkgs.ocamlPackages.buildDunePackage rec {
  pname = "comby";
  version = "1.5.1";
  useDune2 = true;
  minimumOcamlVersion = "4.11.0";

  src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "comby-tools";
    repo = pname;
    rev = version;
    sha256 = "1ipfrr6n1jyyryhm9zpn8wwgzfac1zgbjdjzrm00qcwc17r8x2hf";
  };
  buildInputs = [
    pkgs.zlib
