Links don't work after exporting to PDF

This is my issue, too (Ubuntu, 16.04.3). I'm generally impressed with the app, but working links in PDF exports is a must have for me. Will have to change to a different app if this is not resolved soon.

@lsharkey Can you please provide an example which shows what is not working? For me, File->Export PDF (Styled) is working to get hypertext links working. But I am using a source-install instead of the binary debian package, so maybe it might already be fixed by some commit in the mean time.

Both works for me, but only if I include "http(s)". It could be your PDF viewer.

Okay, I think I can now reproduce your problem. When using the following snippet:

#Title
1. [Home directory](file:///home/) 
2. http://www.github.com
3. https://www.github.com
4. www.github.com
5. [Downloads folder](Downloads)
6. [Home folder](/home)
7. [Github](github.com)
8. [Github](www.github.com) 
9. [Github](http://www.github.com) 
10. [Github](https://www.github.com)

I can openlinks 1-4, 6 and 9-10 without problems in Okular, but for 5, 7 and 8 I get an error message in KDE5 plasma like the following Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder /tmp/github.com does not exist. So the work-around seems to be that you explicitly set the protocol used (something that is a good idea anyway, otherwise it might be interpreted as a local file). I would, therefore, conclude that this issue is not a real bug, but rather expected behaviour.

I know this is old but if the link is internal how to do it?
