Marksman escapes/joins Python-Markdown abbreviations

[weeheavy]

Background

When trying to define Markdown abbreviations, Marksman does two (IMHO wrong) things on save:

Puts an escape character where none belongs

Current behavior: *[abbr1]: explanation1 becomes \*[abbr1]: explanation1 on save

Expected behavior: *[abbr1]: explanation1 stays as-is on save

Joins multiple abbreviations onto one line

When adding multiple abbreviations, one per line, Marksman joins them while also doing the escaping:

Current behavior: \*[abbr1]: explanation1 \*[abbr2]: explanation2

Expected behavior:

*[abbr1]: explanation1
*[abbr2]: explanation2

Sorry, I was wrong. In my setup, prettier is doing the (mis)formatting. There are already open issues in their project:

• https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/5686
• potentially https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/3837
