Markdown syntax highlight

[yzhang-gh]

• VSCode Version: Code - Insiders 1.19.0-insider (d6fbdcf, 2017-11-10T05:17:03.030Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17035

[text] (link) is not a link because of the space between ] and (, so the syntax highlight is not correct.

Thank you.

Hi, the markdown syntax highlighting is managed here in the corresponding .tmlanguage files in the syntaxes folder. (Most highlighting of other languages is managed via external repos from atom but from markdown not.) I already tried to fix this issue, but there are very complex regexp as i seen.

Yes, I also saw the regexp. I wanted to ask how do I test after changing the regexp.
