Sample test with URLs: This webpage is and example of a url that should be able to be converted to a hyperlink <https://www.example.com/>. As is this page <http://www.example.org/> and this page <http://adjustment.example.com/aunt>.

A typical use for a page like this would be a bibliography or reference list <http://www.example.com/>.
