I’m not sure if this is a commonmark issue, a markdown-it issue, or a Discourse issue, but when sharing the link in [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-not-to-structure-your-database-backed-web-applications/97912), I noticed this edge case with the automatic link detection where the sequence `-_foo_-` breaks it.

This was the original link:

```plaintext
https://blog.acolyer.org/2018/06/28/how-_not_-to-structure-your-database-backed-web-applications-a-study-of-performance-bugs-in-the-wild/

```

Here’s a simplified example:

```plaintext
https://example.org/foo-_bar_-baz

```

And rendered:

[https://example.org/foo-\_bar\_-baz](https://example.org/foo-_bar_-baz)

(And as an image for good measure):

As a workaround, to make a link like this go to the right destination, you can always just use a _real_ markdown link like so:

```plaintext
[foo _bar_ baz](https://example.org/foo-_bar_-baz)

```

[foo _bar_ baz](https://example.org/foo-_bar_-baz)
