Description

@fregante edit: Issue transferred from refined-github. This issue still happens in v3.1.0

See this line:

The URL contains parentheses which make the anchor cut off the URL in both the href and the visual link producing a wrong URL.

Original valid URL:

https://github.com/jserz/js_piece/blob/master/DOM/ParentNode/append()/append().md
