When I type "[", a "\" appears before "[" in the markdown source code about milkdown HOT 10 CLOSED

Is the escaping of square brackets intentional, or is it a bug that will be resolved at some point? I'm writing a plugin for wiki links, which uses square brackets. Is the expectation that I need to write an InputRule that removes escaped brackets?

Is plugin-automd now required for commonmark support? It doesn't appear to be documented, but links no longer work with the commonmark preset alone.

1. The escaped brackets is introduced by remark, it will add escape mark to squre bracket to make sure the brackets won't be parsed as links.

2. If you really want to inseart a link instead of bracket, there're a lot of methods to do that. For example, an inputrule should be created to convert patterns like [\w+](\w+) into links. You can also use a shortcut to add link to the selected text.

3. For plugin-automd. It tries to reparse everything in user input and it will introduce other issues. So I split it out from preset-commonmark to let users to decide if they need to use it. I plan to add another inputrule for links but I just didn't get time to do that. I'm working on the @milkdown/components and @milkdown/crepe libraries.

Meeting the same problem, cannot type any links.

Same here.

@Saul-Mirone do you have a plan/idea how to fix this?

Same issue (but trailing slash) with using Shift+Enter and then typing anything.

Edit: Found syntax-tree/mdast-util-to-markdown#45
It looks intentional for this trailing slash. Although, this is not standard markdown syntax.

I'm seeing this as well. If I include a [ in the initial value, it is parsed correctly and links work. But if a [ is typed into the editor, it is escaped with \. This means links are impossible to create in the editor, including in the Playground.

I've tested that this issue was introduced in 7.3.3 and still exists in 7.3.6. Reverting to 7.3.2 resolves the problem.

That part was extracted as @milkdown/plugin-automd. You can install the plugin and enable it.

@Saul-Mirone
Thank you! I took your advice and added @milkdown/plugin-automd, then enabled it, which fixed the problem.
