Links to .md files get converted to .html #1

Closed klamping closed 8 years ago

I have a link in my code to a .md file on github, but when rendered, it points to .html instead.

For example: [the full tests documentation](https://github.com/bem/gemini/blob/master/doc/tests.md)

gets converted to: <a href="https://github.com/bem/gemini/blob/master/doc/tests.html">the full tests documentation</a>

There is a workaround for this, which is to add a # at the end of the url: [the full tests documentation](https://github.com/bem/gemini/blob/master/doc/tests.md#). Doing that preserves the link.

Good catch. This is happening as part of a separate Bitbooks gem that deploys a generated site to Github pages. It's supposed to only change the extensions for internal links... ensuring that links pointing to .md within your own repo will point to the correct .html file once the site is generated. This is the regex: regex = /(?:href=")(?:.*)(.md|.markdown)(?:")/. Clearly, it's too broad.

That code isn't a part of this repo, so it won't be an issue for people using Franklin outside of Bitbooks.
