img link in 'a href'

[Alir3z4]

@dvasseur The following html code

<a href="http://google.com"><img src="images/google.png" alt="Go to google"></a>

is converted to [Go to google](images/google.png)
I would have prefered, [Go to google](http://google.com)

can this be done ?

@szepeviktor: This is so in Markdown:

[![Go to google](images/google.png)](http://google.com)

@Alir3z4 Hmm, this is interesting actually:

In [2]: html2text.html2text('<a href="http://google.com"><img src="images/google.png" alt="Go to google"></a>')
Out[2]: u'![Go to google](images/google.png)\n\n'

Sure it has its own downside, but I would like to have base hostname in the image src too.

---

@szepeviktor: So the <a> element is completely stripped out?

---

@Alir3z4: That's another issue here and yes the a tag is gone here

@Alir3z4 Do you plan to make steps in this direction?

[Alir3z4]

@szepeviktor No I don't, but any patch is welcome for this bug.
Although maybe #49 is a workaround for this issue, lemme know about it

[szepeviktor]

Has it been solved now?

[szepeviktor]

😄 Yes it does work.

<a href="http://google.com"><img src="images/google.png" alt="Go to google"></a>

[![Go to google](images/google.png)](http://google.com)
