could have sworn I saw it the other way around and thought it weird which is why I remembered it but apparently it’s not like that…
But it shouldn’t do that when enclosed in a code/preformatted block?
It shouldn’t but the markdown parser is for whatever reason not that good.
Looks like it’s using markdown-it, a Rust port of a JavaScript library with the same name.
It looks unmaintained. Last commit is from 2 years ago and issues look inactive. (including one asking asking about the maintenance status)
I believe the frontend uses markdown-it proper.
I think that it’s the backend that screws the “url” up. Everything looks good in the preview, but the “url” part disappears upon publishing.
I can see it does indeed also disappear upon publishing
