Description

(Moving from bitter)

Put a long URL as text into a document and MacDown won't split it to wrap a line, but instead will let it extend all the way into the right margin. For example:

```
# Header

Some text with a long URL like the one to this page: Some text with a long URL (like the one to this page with some additions): https://gitter.im/uranusjr/one/two/three/four/five/six/seven/eight/nine/ten/eleven/twelve/thirteen/macdown#utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=unread-notifications
```

Research direction

Reproduce the long-URL example in MacDown and investigate the Hoedown-related rendering path mentioned in the title. The work is done when long URLs wrap within the document's right margin without breaking the surrounding Markdown rendering.
