Description
version 1.2.2
A captioned markdown URL eats into the preceding checkbox.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Make a list of markdown URLs with display text such as:
- [ ] U6 [How online presentations work](https://money.howstuffworks.com/business-communications/how-online-presentations-work1.htm)
- [x] U6 [Remember these 6 facial expression tips when presenting](https://www.duarte.com/presentation-skills-resources/facial-expressions-matter-when-presenting-heres-why/)
- [ ] U6 [Presentation rubrics](https://www.uwstout.edu/academics/online-distance-education/online-professional-development/educational-resources-rubrics/creating-and-using-rubrics-assessment#presentationrubrics)
- The checkbox becomes a URL (The square itself is highlighted with the URL color. Clicking it checks it, but also goes to the webpage)
Expected behavior
Exclude the checkbox from the URL if the markdown brackets exclude it.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the supplied markdown list in Deck and trace the markdown rendering entry point; done means the checkbox is not part of the link target while the displayed URL still opens correctly.
