Long inline links reflowing is problematic

[gsliepen]

If an inline link is too long, it might get reflowed in a suboptimal way. It happens when you have a line that looks like:

Some text with [a link](https://example.org/some-very-looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong-link.html)

This gets reflowed like so:

Some text with [a link](
https://example.org/some-very-looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong-link.html)

Some Markdown converters (like libtext-markdown-perl) don't like this, and will generate this HTML:

<p>Some text with [a link](
https://example.org/some-very-looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong-link.html)</p>

I think the way it is reflowed is valid CommonMark, but it would be nicer for some tools, and arguably as well for a human reader, if the above example would be reflowed as:

Some text with
[a link](https://example.org/some-very-looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong-link.html)

Sorry it's taken me so long to take a look at this. I think this is a fine request. My initial choice was designed to make the text more justified, but this is extremely reasonable. I'll get a new version out with this change in the not too distant future.

A followup question, would reformatting that to this also work for your use case:

Some text with [a
link](https://example.org/some-very-looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong-link.html)

or is it important that the link text be on one line?

Thanks!

libtext-markdown-perl thinks that is OK. It seems the requirement is that ](https://the.whole.url/) is on one line.

This is also causing issues for doxygen links to subsections

Loooooooooooooooooooooong [labore](
#lorem_ipsum) et dolore magna aliqua.

which with markflow 0.2.1 will get formatted as

Loooooooooooooooooooooong [labore](
# lorem_ipsum) et dolore magna aliqua.

which will not work. I think it would be better to better to keep ](#lorem_ipsum) on the same line.
