Showing URLs as plain text

I just tried to do it too and failed. I believe this is a bug and filed Task T41392 for you. There are two workarounds which you may try:

1. Assing datatype String to this propery / if you only need the URL for this particular purpose
2. Create a second property of type String: / if you still need the URL for another purpose.

Hope this helps. Cheers

Thank you for your reply!

I actually noticed the "link" option in the table format just a few minutes after writing my message. It worked well for interwiki links but not for outgoing links.

This is propably actually because of Mediawiki and not SMW. It changes all strings starting with "http" into a working link unless you use nowiki tags around the link.

However it is not possible to add those nowiki tags in this case.

What is needed is a plain format option for the url datatype which basically adds those nowiki tags around the links while printing the table.

I solved my problem. I do not know why I did not figure this out earlier, but it was quite easy to turn those URLs to image links with a few lines of css.
