Email in LaTeX not working #51

Open phieri opened 1 year ago

phieri commented 1 year ago

When using lychee on a LaTeX book repository the following email addresses were not picked up correctly with the curly brackets.

Maintainer of lychee here. Not sure if linkify is the right place to solve this. I think texttt{hq@ssa.se is technically a syntactically valid email address. The curly brace is not very common, but it's an accepted special character. Properly parsing LaTeX would avoid that problem, but I'm not aware of a good crate for that.

Yeah what @mre said. What's interesting though is that GitHub doesn't allow { and handles these cases as you'd expect:

texttt{hq@ssa.se

hq@ssa.se}{hq@ssa.se
