Steps to reproduce

  • Create a file A.md
  • Create a file B.md and insert the following into it:
$$
P(A)
$$$$
P(A)
$$

[A](A.md)
  • Rename A.md to anything
  • The link to A.md in B.md will not have updated

If you then insert a newline character between the two sets of $$ the link renaming will work as expected.

Weirdly though this doesn’t appear to be an issue for the interactive viewer as in it will display both equations fine

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?

Y - Was able to replicate this bug in the sandbox

Expected result

I wanted the link to A.md to be updated to the new name

Actual result

The Link to A.md in B.md was not updated

Just to add that it appears to be bugged if any text is added onto the end of the equation for example this triggers it as well:

$$
P
$$sometext

[A](A.md)

This is particularly difficult to spot / deal with because in live preview mode as there is no clue that it is formatted like this:

In addition to missing links, the outline not working, etc., PDF export is also affected.

Folks who only use Live preview, where the issue may not be seen, are surprised when the exported PDF is broken part way through (often with the yellow highlighted text appearing).
