Emphasis links do not work

[SidV]

Hello guys, there is some problem with italic links when the URL has "(" and ")", example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software)

Steps for replay:

1. Put the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software)
   to “Wikipedia Discourse”

• Select the “Wikipedia Discouse” link, and clic on “Emphasis” (or Crtl + i)
• Check the result.

---

Final result:
Wikipedia Discourse

Trying with other link (other case)
Discouse Emphasis

So, I think the problem was the “( )” symbols.
Could you check?

OK so use one of the other dozen plus ways to achieve this?

Discourse Emphasis

<i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software)">Discourse Emphasis</a></i>

Discourse Emphasis

_[Discourse Emphasis][1]_

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software)

I can go on…

This is now fixed per:

CommonMark testing started here!

Per our migration plans, I just enabled markdown.it at Meta. It is an excellent CommonMark compliant engine. I expect quite a few edges to be found during this period of testing. Do not open bugs about the new Engine, just reply here. I/we will be updating the top post here with the list of issues and striking out stuff as it is fixed. Current known issues (to be fixed) :white_check_mark: Onebox vanishes after you start typing and works not-super consistently :white_check_mark: pending…

Rebaked OP to confirm.
