  If I write the following code enclosed in [sourcecode] tag:

  $ wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/qemu/qemu-0.12.5.tar.gz

  …it will display also a clickable link to “http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/qemu/qemu-0.12.5.tar.gz“.

  but if I set the language as “bash” the word “tar” will be highlighted because it could be a bash command, and the clickable link will lead to “http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/qemu/qemu-0.12.5.” which is incorrect.

  You can check what happens on this post.

  Is it possible to have autolinks options default to false when the code language is set, since it is currently broken?

  Hi. If I understand correctly, the autolinks option leads to broken links when language=”bash” and to override this, you have no choice but to put autolinks=”false”.

  Please report it to staff directly because we volunteers have no control over the back end of [sourcecode]:
