Using certain syntax in questions/answers will generate links automatically. For future reference, here is that syntax.

The following are supported. Note that the Plaintext and Trac formats do not produce links in the real-time preview of your question/answer, while the other formats do.

Some further details can be found in an askbot post on this topic.

Plaintext links

you type: "http://sagemath.org"
you get: http://sagemath.org

Trac ticket links

you type: "ticket 1234"
you get: ticket 1234

Markdown syntax links

you type: "[doc](http://www.sagemath.org/doc/)"
you get: doc
note: all of the other Markdown syntax is also supported -- this includes links as footnotes, and links for images.

URL's entered as html

you type: "<a href="http://ask.sagemath.org">asksage</a>"
you get: asksage

Note: after several tries, I can't figure out how to turn off the auto linking for the "you type" parts . . . I hope this is clear enough anyway!

Comments

Further detail: comments are not parsed with Markdown, so `markdown syntax` will not work, but url's like http://sagemath.org will still autolink

(But the syntax for trac ticket 1234 will not work)

Note about your note - sounds like a good question for http://askbot.org
