Links which contains parentheses seems to be cutoff at the end and becomes unreachable.

Example in markdown: [the Foo Fighters album](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_Fighters_(album)) Becomes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo_Fighters_(album

Did some digging and apparently it's not possible to solve this with a regex. Same issue discussed here: https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js/issues/248
