Invalid escaping the square brackets

[SerTetora]

mdformat incorrectly reformats a valid MkDocs Material inline icon link by escaping the square brackets. This breaks the intended syntax and produces invalid Markdown for this use case.

Input(test.md)

[:material-download: Download](../assets/load data.txt){:download="load data" .md-button}

Command

uvx --with mdformat-mkdocs==5.1.4 mdformat test.md

Output

\[:material-download: Download\](../assets/load data.txt){:download="load data" .md-button}

Should now be fixed in 5.2.0b1 (https://pypi.org/project/mdformat-mkdocs/5.2.0b1). I'll try to get a full release out soon, but I'm wrapping up new pre-release canary testing on real use cases

If you have a chance to try the beta, let me know if you run into any issues

Hello, thank you. I tried with test cases from 690bd26

[:material-download: Download](../assets/load data.txt){:download="load data" .md-button}

I'm getting an error:

Error: Could not format                                                                                                                
"test.md".

Formatted Markdown renders to different HTML than input Markdown. This is a bug
in mdformat or one of its installed plugins. Please retry without any plugins
installed. If this error persists, report an issue including the input Markdown
on https://github.com/hukkin/mdformat/issues. If not, report an issue on the
malfunctioning plugin's issue tracker.

The second case (with <>)

[:material-download: Download](<../assets/load data.txt>){:download="load data" .md-button}

gets reformatted to

[:material-download: Download](../assets/load%20data.txt){:download="load data" .md-button}

Is it expected behaviour? I prefer without %20.

[KyleKing]

No that wasn't expected. It looks like re-running on the formatted output causes issues, so I've patched the root cause and added tests this category of error. I released 5.2.0b2 (pypi.org/project/mdformat-mkdocs/5.2.0b2)

[SerTetora]

Thank you!

With the first case (without <>)

[:material-download: Download](../assets/load data.txt){:download="load data" .md-button}

I'm still getting an error

Error: Could not format                                                                                                                                
"test.md".

Should I wrap all my links containing space in <>?
