The plugin author tells me “not linking” is the desired behaviour of the plugin. In markdown, you need to surround a URL with < and > for it to be made clickable. Well, thanks to westi I’ve managed to make inline URLs clickable — I guess I’ll try to remove the removal of the make_clickable function in the plugin and see what happens then.

Right. The line westi made me add helps make the inline links clickable upon display.

For some weird reason, both links in the last comment were made clickable. PHP Markdown Extra de-activated upon comment submission. Try again: http://flickr.com/

Right. The links in these comments are all stored as URLs in the DB. De-activating PHP Markdown Extra allows some of them to be HTML-ized upon output. Is it a problem with WordPress's make-clickable (or whatever) function? http://flickr.com

Earlier on, westi made me add add_filter('get_comment_text', 'make_clickable', 10); in the PHP Markdown Extra plugin. Let's just see what happens without that line: http://flickr.com

Right. Going to re-activate PHP Markdown Extra so that my posts don’t look ugly, but now we know what’s going on. Make your links inline like this http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2006/09/07/links-in-wordpress-comments-not-linking/ if you want them to link.
