Description
Describe the bug
The first download link on the Prerequisites for running Photon OS on vSphere page is not getting parsed as a link an is displaying the markdown directly.
Reproduction steps
- Visit the aforementioned page
Expected behavior
A link appears like https://packages.vmware.com/photon/ in the last cell of the table.
Additional context
This is because markdown syntax is not parsed inside of block-level elements.
e.g.
<div>[https://example.com](https://example.com)</div>
