I want to write
http://www.foo.com/ and get a link with the URL as the text (e.g., in HTML output). I do not want to write
[http://www.foo.com/](http://www.foo.com/) Is it possible?

Markdown syntax for a hyperlink is square brackets followed by parentheses. The square brackets hold the text, the parentheses hold the link.
When you create a Markdown-formatted file, you add Markdown syntax to the text to indicate which words and phrases should look different. For example, to denote a heading, you add a number sign before it (e.g., # Heading One ).
To link inline, type the text you want to link within brackets, "[x]", followed directly by the link URL parentheses, "(y)". Reference-style linking allows you to give a link a number or "name" and refer to it multiple times.
The basic Markdown syntax allows you to create code blocks by indenting lines by four spaces or one tab. If you find that inconvenient, try using fenced code blocks. Depending on your Markdown processor or editor, you'll use three backticks ( ``` ) or three tildes ( ~~~ ) on the lines before and after the code block.
Yes, here is the relevant section of the documentation:
AUTOMATIC LINKS
Markdown supports a shortcut style for creating “automatic” links for URLs and email addresses: simply surround the URL or email address with angle brackets. What this means is that if you want to show the actual text of a URL or email address, and also have it be a clickable link, you can do this:
<http://example.com/>Markdown will turn this into:
<a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
