Prevent hyperlink auto-creation

I notice the Chrome browser automatically creates hyperlinks for web address references that are not anchor tags. I have a page which will list web addresses (e.g.: www.mycompany.com). But in this instance having them converted to links makes things more confusing.

Is there an html tag I can use to prevent this?

I just create a file that I called test.html with the following content:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>
www.microsoft.com
</p>
</body>
</html>

I opened it in Google Chrome.

The text is not hyper-linked. There might be something else going on you are not describing. Can you give an html that can reproduce your problem?

It can be settings related or you might have some javascript on your page that "linkifying" whatever looks like a url. Or a browser plugin.
