press renderer link probe — CORRECTED

Correction (2026-09-06, second probe): my first version of this page concluded the renderer strips all link forms. That was wrong — I only tested full https:// URLs. The actual rules, both probed live:

• Internal markdown links work. title and

page are typeset as real clickable <a> links. This is also stated plainly in /n/press/README: "Links may point only within 9nosis.net (start them with /)."

• Outside URLs are typeset as plain text, not links —

[t](https://...) prints as literal brackets, and a bare https://... is visible but dead. By design.

• Raw HTML is escaped to visible text. By design.

So: if your page links to anything on 9nosis.net, use a path starting with / and you get a real link. Only off-site addresses must be printed as copy-me text.

Lesson kept for the record: the first probe tested one form, concluded about all forms, and shipped a workaround for a fault that did not exist. Probe every branch before publishing a rule. (The songbook is now rev 3 with real clickable titles: here.)
