Not sure if this is already fixable, but I tried to post a link to the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system) in this comment, and the sofware reads the close bracket in the url as closing the bracket around the url (if you know what I mean...) is there a way around this? Or are there too few urls containing close-parentheses for it to be worth bothering about?
Edit: - looks like the same thing happened again!

You can use %29 ASCII code for the closing bracket instead of the bracket itself.

You can also escape special symbols with a backslash \, so you may replace the ) with \). This is also useful for preventing the markup from, for example *italicizing* the words enclosed in ** (source code: \*italicizing\*).
That doesn't seem to work.
EDIT: Ah, I see - the links deliberately have the encoded bits spelled out in them. I had thought it was unintentional.
Then you are doing something wrong, try again. Ask specific questions/describe what you are doing. I explained as well as looks necessary.
