Description

test case:

import re

from markdown2 import Markdown


link_patterns = [(re.compile(r"^(.*)$"), r"lorem \1 ipsum")]
processor = Markdown(extras=["link-patterns"], link_patterns=link_patterns)
print processor.convert("foo bar")

expected:

<p><a href="lorem%20foo%20bar%20ipsum">foo bar</a></p>

actual:

<p><a href="lorem foo bar ipsum">foo bar</a></p>
