When defining a link like this
[description](ftp://user:pw@host/...)
or simply
ftp://user:pw@host/...
Azure DevOps turns the colon between user and pw into a slash. In other words, the effective user name when clicking the link will be user/pw, with no password set.
Is there a way to prevent AzDO from doing that?
As a workaround, I'm now using backticks:
`ftp://user:pw@host/...`
which keeps the url unchanged, but a) it is not turned into a clickable link and b) I cannot use a description text to be displayed in place of the link.
Update: What I'm trying to do is fine according to CommonMark, an attempt to create an unambiguous specification of Markdown, that has been adopted by the likes of GitHub and StackOverflow:
