[api-documenter] Processing links inside of tables not working reliably in jekyll

[richtera]

Summary

I am using the plain api-documenter markdown command line and processing the output with github pages' jekyll processing.
This seems to work pretty well except for a couple of weeks now it's unable to correctly detect the entrypoint links into the docs.
So rather than showing a table with links it's showing the undecoded markdown.

This looks like this

<table><thead><tr><th>

Package


</th><th>

Description


</th></tr></thead>
<tbody><tr><td>

[@lukso/data-provider-base](/tools-data-providers/data-provider-base.html)


</td><td>


</td></tr>
.
.
.
</tbody></table>

here is the current URL this is running under https://lukso-network.github.io/tools-data-providers/

The compiled "markdown" file contains

<table><thead><tr><th>

Package


</th><th>

Description


</th></tr></thead>
<tbody><tr><td>

[@lukso/data-provider-base](./data-provider-base.md)


</td><td>
.
.
.

meaning that unless the final jekyll markdown processor understood markdown within html tags this is not going to work.

Repro steps

All I have to do is execute api-extractor and api-documenter and deploy the result.

Expected result:

Normally I would expect this to work normally and it used to.

Actual result:

Now it's not linking correctly, but the rest of the content looks good.

Details

Rather than rendering <a> links the jekyll renderer is not recognizing [...](...) and outputting it verbatim. I am suspecting since it's a table it's expecting additional spacing or something silly like that.
