[... loads of newlines...]

I am not too fond of any of the solutions. Hans' inserts a space for
every newline in the HTML version and George's introduces a new
concept simply to avoid a long line.

I prefer:

[sql:]vendor://
[[user][:password]@][host][:port]/[database][?sqlquery]

hoping that people reading the HTML version will know the space after
:// is wrong.

George: How many chars do we need to shave off? Would either of these work:

[sql:]vendor://[[user][:password]@][host][:port]/[database][?query]

[sql:]vendor://[[user][:passwd]@][host][:port]/[database][?query]
