MarkDown preview links are too agressive #59999
Description
Issue Type: Bug
The VS Code preview linkifier is too agressive. In the following markdown (generated by JSDoc)…
| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [opts] | <code>Object</code> | items to update |
| [opts.name] | <code>String</code> | name of the thing |
Param Type Description [opts] Objectitems to update [opts.name] Stringname of the thing
… hovering over opts.name resulted in a link to http://opts.name ! Neither Github's preview, nor another processor (marked on NPM) linkify [opts.name]. Same goes for [opts.com].
Here the brackets are JSDoc for an optional parameter.
