Description
The markdown angle bracket syntax (https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax#urls-and-email-addresses) for quickly creating links currently does not work.
Eg.
`` should convert into `https://github.com`. Instead, it is simply left as-is and will render as a HTML element.
Example using the angle input in the github renderer/editor:

No contributing guide indexed for this repository
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported input, , through the parser and locate the link-handling entry point. The work is done when angle-bracket URLs become links with the expected href and displayed text, rather than being left as HTML-like input; add or update coverage if the project has parser tests.
