v15.6.0

I have 2 rendering issues in Display view:

1. Text in **square brackets** followed directly by another text in square brackets are not rendered correctly, the second one is not displayed. If there is text between those square bracket groups rendering is fine.

```auto
[text1] [text2 - this text will not be rendered]

[text1] [text2 - this text will not be rendered] text3

[text1] and [text2 - this text will be rendered]

text [text1] [this text will not be rendered]

text1 [text2] and [text3]

- [] [text1] [text2 - this text will not be rendered]
- [] [text1] and [text2 - this text will be rendered]
- [] text1 [text2] [text3 - this text will not be rendered]
- [] text1 [text2] and [text3]

```

1. If a line starts with ` ~~text~~ ` it is not shown in Display view and causes the following lines to be rendered as a Code block

```auto
text0 ~~this is rendered~~

~~text1~~ following lines will be in a code block and this line will not be rendered

text0

text0 ~~text1~~

```

I’ve additionally tested these with a fresh collection without a .css file and had the same issue.

Thanks.

In the case of the first issue, you are using the syntax for [reference-style links](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#link), and so the text within the second set of square brackets is assumed to be a pointer to the actual link. This is why it is not showing up in the display. Does this make sense? I don’t see this behavior as a bug.

I’ll look into the second issue.

Thanks for reporting!

For the first point, you’re absolutely right. I don’t use reference-style links, so I overlooked its presence; it can’t be considered a bug.

Thanks.

For the second point, try out [the latest beta](https://discourse.notenik.app/t/notenik-15-6-1-available-for-beta-testing-on-october-31-2024/607) and see if that helps.

Thanks!

Everything seems fine for now.
