How do I create hyperlinks in slack?

Paste a valid url I should think

practicalli-johnny11:08:50

Hmm, no support. Only full blown links, rather than a names hyperlink. sorry, should have been more precise.

Note: Hyperlinking words and terms in a Slack message isn't supported — to include a URL, paste it into the message input box. Visit Sharing links in Slack for more.

Yes, this is one of the many reasons I prefer Gitter...

am-a_metail11:08:20

Hmm personally it seems like a bit of a security hole to to allow aliased links

am-a_metail11:08:26

At least you can see the url

practicalli-johnny11:08:31

Gitter shows you the link address when you hover over it… just like the web… which i should hope people do anyway...
