Do not insert HtmlTag when there is already a tag #31

When the input Text is already proper formated as a Html Link

eg. input= "wow, so example: <a href="http://test.com">http://test.com</a>"

The output would be: wow, so example: <a href="<a href="http://test.com">http://test.com</a>"><a href="http://test.com">http://test.com</a></a>

It would be great, when it detects already proper formated Html Links and don't append the tags in this case.

That would be handy, but it would mean depending on an HTML parser and renderer library. But I want to keep this library small and focused on the goal of finding links within plain text. I added a section with an explanation about this to the README:
