#2260 Links in markdown are not correctly processed
Closed: Insufficient data by wombelix. Opened by vondruch.

Consider following MD:

some ref [[1]].
[1]: http://some.url

This should expand into

some ref [1].

Where the "1" is clickable hyperlink. But unfortunately it expands into:

some ref [[1]].

Where the URL is completely lost for the reader ...

Here is realworld example of the wrong expansion: [[1]] and be sure that there is link in the MD "1" but it not displayed


You should be able to work around this by escaping the outer brackets with a backslash.

Workaround offered 5 years ago, no comments or updates since then, even unclear if it's still a problem, closing.
