Errors on presumed MDX expression with curly braces

[dave-db]

A string in {curly braces} within the body of a document is being parsed as an MDX expression, then throwing as there's no node handler for it. The same text content is processed ok by MDX evaluate/parse itself, so it looks like it relates to the conversion pipeline between markdown and Lexical.

Example content

Find your video at:

https://player.evideo.com/video?video-id={your-video-id}

> Replace `your-video-id` with your video id

The part in {curly braces} blew up the editor, but not the MDX processor (mdx-js evaluateSync), which rendered it fine unescaped. The editor error was:

Error: Cannot handle unknown node `mdxTextExpression`

Thank you, I will test that. To ensure I'm not missing something, in that case, you would rather not have any special processing of the {your-video-id} token, right?

Yup, absolutely - it should be just string content in the link (in this case). Looking at the docs for mdast-util-mdx-expression, I think the whitespace around braces should be treated as significant, although I'm not clear on exactly what the spec is. mdx-js itself doesn't try to parse it (at least in my pipeline), so maybe I don't have that plugin enabled for rendering pages?
