When printing, automatically render URLs as footnotes?
I couldn't find anything on this topic, so I suppose this is a feature request. When writing a Markdown document that contains URLs, it would be very helpful if the print rendering could be optionally configured to show the URLs as footnotes, while preserving hyperlinks in the same document in HTML and rich text. Otherwise the informational content of the links is lost when printing, and I'd rather not have to maintain two versions of the same document.

The parsing required to turn urls into footnotes would get complex, but you can show urls inline when outputting to print/PDF with a little CSS. Would that help?

It's not ideal because I find that the inline URLs really break the reading flow of the document, but it's still much better for my purposes than just formatting the link text. I'll fiddle with some custom CSS, unless you have something already that would work.
