links with url as anchor text not working

[chorsnell]

I am having issues converting the following, which seems to be because the URL is the anchor text. If I change the anchor to a non URL it works.

$html = '<h1>yoyo</h1><p>See <a href="https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/81" target="_blank">https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/81</a></p>';

$converter = new HtmlConverter();
$markdown = $converter->convert($html);

echo $markdown;

This returns

yoyo
====

See <https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/81>

Seems to be converting ok over here - https://domchristie.github.io/to-markdown/

Interesting, I am getting a very similar issue in another PHP library over here - https://github.com/Elephant418/Markdownify/issues/23

When both the href and text are the same, we convert that to Markdown's autolink syntax. Based on the example you sent, it seems like this is working as intended.

@colinodell thanks for the quick response, wasn't aware that was a thing :+1:
