Bug Description

During the test, Jono would enter text like:

* problems includes:
* user: <answer to question>

And it would attempt to open a webpage with the protocol matching the text immediately prior to the ':'.

Lernid needs to be more careful about opening URIs, and should probably be limited to http: and https: URIs
This also means that the custom {nickname}: generates errors because the nickname isn't a valid protocol.
