Long links no longer rendered as links from GitHub markdown

Open PatrickStephansen opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

It seems that sometime in the last couple of months a limit was imposed on link destination addresses for markdown rendered on GitHub.

This breaks the readme for one of my repos that has links with thousands of characters after the hash: https://github.com/PatrickStephansen/reactive-synth#example-patches. Each of the list items in this section is supposed to be a link. Such links can do no harm since nothing after the hash is sent to the server.

I'm asking that whatever link length limit should be imposed on the portion of the URL before the hash only. I'm not sure if the cause of the issue is in this repo or one of the dependencies.
