 ## URL auto-linking
 
-GFM will autolink standard URLs you copy and paste into your text. So if you want to link to a URL (instead of a textural link), you can simply put the URL in verbatim and it will be turned into a link to that URL.
+GFM will autolink almost any URL you copy and paste into your text.
