Consider supporting multiple links separated by punctuation

[nwhittaker]

Given the strings:

• http://www.a.com http://www.b.com
• http://www.a.com, http://www.b.com, and http://www.c.com.

Expected output:

• <a href="http://www.a.com" target="_self">http://www.a.com</a> <a href="http://www.b.com" target="_self">http://www.b.com</a>
• <a href="http://www.a.com" target="_self">http://www.a.com</a>, <a href="http://www.b.com" target="_self">http://www.b.com</a>, and <a href="http://www.c.com" target="_self">http://www.c.com</a>.

Observed output:

• <a href="http://www.a.com" target="_self">http://www.a.com</a> http://www.b.com
• http://www.a.com, http://www.b.com, and http://www.c.com.

FWIW,

• http://www.a.com, ... yields http://www.a.com, ..., however appending a slash http://www.a.com/, ... yields (note the trailing punctuation is included in the link) <a href="http://www.a.com/," target="_self">http://www.a.com/,</a> ...
• and separating links with multiple spaces (spaces not preserved by Markdown) http://www.a.com http://www.b.com yields <a href="http://www.a.com" target="_self">http://www.a.com</a> <a href="//www.b.com" target="_self">www.b.com</a>

Thanks for opening this issue! Definitely agree that we should support this better. When I get a chance I will dive into the regex a bit to see how I can get the expected output to be produced.

+1 for this.

Version 3.0.0 handles space delimited list of URLs as expected now

[nwhittaker]

Want me to split the comma-delimited issue into a separate issue? IMO that's the more likely use-case.

@nwhittaker I'll reopen it so we're tracking against the punctuation case.
