Kramdown escapes all the symbols in emails

[anton-tsyganenko]

$ echo "<me.example@example.com>" | kramdown
<p><a href="&#109;&#097;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;:&#109;&#101;&#046;&#101;&#120;&#097;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;&#064;&#101;&#120;&#097;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;&#046;&#099;&#111;&#109;">&#109;&#101;&#046;&#101;&#120;&#097;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;&#064;&#101;&#120;&#097;&#109;&#112;&#108;&#101;&#046;&#099;&#111;&#109;</a></p>
$ kramdown --version
1.11.1

Could you describe the problem?

[anton-tsyganenko]

I want it to give result without escaping ascii-characters, like this:
<p><a href="mailto:me.example@example.com">me.example@example.com</a></p>
but it escapes everything. It is shown correct in the browser, but it increases source code length and size and decreases its readability.

Okay, that is by design and to be compatible in this regard with the original Markdown.pl implementation.

In another way of setting email links the results differ:

$ echo "[a@b.c](mailto:a@b.c)" | markdown
<p><a href="mailto:a@b.c">a@b.c</a></p>
$ echo "[a@b.c](mailto:a@b.c)" | kramdown 
<p><a href="&#109;&#097;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;:&#097;&#064;&#098;&#046;&#099;">&#097;&#064;&#098;&#046;&#099;</a></p>

Don't know that markdown executable, so I can't say. Fact of the matter is: It is how it is. And if there is no good reason to change it (and you have provided none), I won't change it.

Thanks, since it seems that most other implementations don't obfuscate the email links anymore, kramdown should probably follow suit in this case.

The obfuscation will be removed in the next release.
