Hi, as in the last paragraph of the Org v7.7 manual section 4.3 about external links, "Org also finds external links in the normal text and activates them as links." While editing, this completely works as expected.
But when it comes to exporting, Org will *not* recognize the second, third, etc. external link in normal text if it is *not* marked by square brackets. See below for some tests that will fail in ASCII, UTF8, and HTML export. Can you please consider this issue for one of the next versions of Org?
