Links are broken when containing parenthesis character ")"

[x9t9]

Expected behavior :

Valid and safe URL's pasted or written should be converted to functional links ( as-is ) .

Actual behavior :

Valid and safe URL's that contain the parenthesis closing character " ) " without pairing are immediately broken at the point of said character .

Steps to reproduce :

• Open the markdown-it demo
• Paste a URL ( or write one )
• Manually add a closing parenthesis character in the link " ) " without a matched opening one .

Note : As per my understanding , the parenthesis character " ) " IS considered safe and valid as per rfc3986 ( see also here and here )

That's a result of linkifier work. And it has reasons to consider unpaired ")" as outer char. If you don't like it - you can always define link explicit via markdown syntax.

PS. online demos has possibility to create permalinks. Real example is better that description of steps to reproduce.

@puzrin I am not sure I understand why this was closed ( is it because the description or because it is not a bug or because it is in the wrong place ) and also what you mean by define link explicit .
In every way that I tried , the following link is somewhat broken ( as display or link itself )

Is that the real example you were referring to ?

[puzrin]

Because that's not a markdown-it bug, and if you define your link according to commonmark spec, it will work as expected. That may be considered as linkify-it it bug, but it's known and nobody can give you 100% guarantee for heuristic anyway. If you need 100% guarantee, you should format links with commonmark syntax as described in spec.

Is that the real example you were referring to ?
