How are links parsed?

[KBHertzog]

I'm working on adding Milkdown support for a project I work on and noticed the standard Markdown format of [Display Text](link) wasn't working. Using a listener to print the markdown as it's parsed, it seems instead links are wrapped in <> tags. What's the reason as to why the Commonmark specification for links doesn't seem to work?

Noting that further research lead me to learn these are proper links known as auto-links that I hadn't encountered prior. It then makes sense that the <> output is supported, but I am still confused as to why the []() syntax doesn't seem to work within the editor.

Hi, I encountered the same issue, have you made any progress?

Basically you need to enable plugin-automd or write a prosemirror input rule to parse the link. I plan to add the input rule in the common mark preset.
