Description


Html2text version: 2024.2.26
Python version: 3.11.12

```python
import html2text

h2t = html2text.HTML2Text()
h2t.protect_links = True
markdown = h2t.handle(html)
```

According to the [documentation](https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text/blob/8917f5c83d8cf013110124a6b37331b2c29a0fff/docs/usage.md?plain=1#L71), this should protect URLs from line breaks, but it does not. It only places angle brackets around the URLs, which is not helpful. Currently the only way to truly avoid line breaks in links is to either use reference-style links, or set `body_width` to `0`, both of which make ugly markdown documents. It would be better if `protect_links` would allow links to extend beyond the body width, as the documentation implies.
