Handling abbreviations

[pelson]

When formatting Abbreviations, such as the one in the mkdocs docs:

The HTML specification is maintained by the W3C.

*[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language
*[W3C]: World Wide Web Consortium

Then mdformat with mdformat-mkdocs converts them to escaped text.

Output:

The HTML specification is maintained by the W3C.

\*\[HTML\]: Hyper Text Markup Language
\*\[W3C\]: World Wide Web Consortium

I would expect this to be unchanged by mdformat-mkdocs.

Tested with Python 3.11:

linkify-it-py   2.0.3
markdown-it-py  3.0.0
mdformat        0.7.17
mdformat_admon  2.0.3
mdformat-gfm    0.3.6
mdformat_mkdocs 2.0.11
mdformat_tables 0.4.1
mdit-py-plugins 0.4.1
mdurl           0.1.2
more-itertools  10.2.0
uc-micro-py     1.0.3

Additionally, I get a warning, which I don't know if it is relevant to this issue:

Warning: Plugin conflict. More than one plugin defined a renderer for "link" syntax.

Thanks for trying out this plugin and submitting such a clear bug report!

I wasn't aware of that syntax and mdformat-mkdocs will need to be extended to recognize it. I should have some time this weekend to take a look

I've release v2.1.0, which should address formatting Abbreviations, but rendering proper HTML will take more effort. Let me know if this release works for your needs!

Looks to have done the trick. Thanks!
