With Ikiwiki, mdwn, and discount configured, the following syntax
[some link with parens in it](http://foo.com/parens(yeah))
Has a broken URI (missing the closing parenthesis) and renders the second parenthesis outside of the link.
Here's it live on ikiwiki.info: [some link with parens in it](http://foo.com/parens(yeah))
Bug present in at least discount 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 and merely exposed by IkiWiki. Note that upstream
consider this to be not-a-bug/"behavior follows specs": https://github.com/Orc/discount/issues/241
The following alternative markdown implementations get this right:
* libtext-markdown-perl 1.000031 (debian -3)
* multimarkdown 1.000035 (debian -2)
