Markdown Notation for Links

I’ve copied the example given (whatever text)[link], but the resulting link does not work. The text to which I attach the link appears in blue lettering (as it should), and the URL is not visible (as expected). When I hover the cursor over the link, the URL appears in a white box in the bottom-left of the browser (Firefox), but I am unable to click on the blue lettering or open the link in a new tab/window. Right-clicking Copy Link Location does enable me to copy the URL into a new tab manually. Any assistance would be appreciated.

EDIT: This behavior is occurring in a private topic.

Done!

The link parser probably only handles traditional URL types. I didn’t write it, so I can’t say for sure.

It’s extensible, so I can probably add that functionality.

The headings don’t seem to work in the same way as they do on the markdown-it demo page. Adding multiple hashes followed by a white space results in a heading that is underlined and in block capitals. Is this expected behavior?

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

I’d like to be able to create headings that used minuscules and were not underlined. Of course, the styles available are ultimately up to you. 😃

Getting tables to look as they do in the example page for markdown syntax is proving difficult. Does anyone know how to stop the column-headings bunching up? Moreover, does anyone know how to center-align the columns?
