autolink_bare_uris extension incorrectly parses Notes: as URI

[alexivkin]

-f markdown+autolink_bare_uris
on

# Header

**Notes:**

blah

Produces

Header

\*\*<Notes:**>

blah

Expected result, same as running -f markdown

Header
======

**Notes:**

blah

The issue is that Notes: is recognized as a URL, just as http: would be.

echo '**Notes:**' | pandoc -f markdown+autolink_bare_uris -t native
[Para [Str "**",Link ("",[],[]) [Str "Notes:**"] ("Notes:**","")]]

Not sure whether we can avoid false positives like this one easily...

[alexivkin]

Thanks. I guess autolink should follow URL defs - "Notes:" is not a URL string by any existing RFC.
I'll avoid using the colon for now 😞

For some reason, notes is one of the URI schemes pandoc recognizes (which are used in the uri function).

[alexivkin]

Probably because of lotus notes. A proper URI should have double slashes following the colon. Even then just having a type with no actual resource locatior (notes:) makes no sense as a link.

We're using a function from Network.URI to recognize URLs. We may need to add some additional rules to rule out obvious junk like this!

Probably because of lotus notes. Still, a proper URI should have double slashes following the colon.
