When I enter preformatted text enclosed by triple backticks, I expect no formatting to occur, but if url (or url-like strings) are found, Ripcord attempts to turn them into links, creating ugliness. eg \`\`\`properties of foo.bar.co\`\`\` becomes \`\`\`properties of \<http://foo.bar.co\|foo.bar.co>\`\`\` (this was very hard to type out!)

If this is a slack misfeature, please let me know so I can bug them instead. :)

Slack's servers do this, not Ripcord. Ripcord does not transform those into links. Ripcord has no control over this, sadly. You will need to bug Slack to fix it.

I should point out the same thing happens in Slack web and desktop clients, which you can verify yourself.

I have started bugging Slack directly. Thanks for letting me know either way. I've closed this per your notice that this is an "upstream" issue.

Hey adowning, would you mind sharing a link to the Slack bugreport, if such a thing exists? I am also interested in this =).
