Whitespace around markdown link causes extra newlines to be added to code block

[nfelt14]

If I add whitespace around the markdown link inside the xml comments (like mdformat does automatically), then an extra whitespace is added after each line in the code block.

Problem codeinclude block:

<!--codeinclude-->

[Human readable title for snippet](./relative_path_to_example_code.java) targeting_expression

<!--/codeinclude-->

This makes it impossible for me to use mdformat to format the entire rest of my markdown document because the code is littered with extra whitespaces if I use mdformat on the file.
