This url markdown does not
It seems these trailing parentheses also break the hyperlink (both the above should direct to the Gaming on Linux homepage). Quoting this post may explain things better, otherwise this image captures what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/hlsLVez
This behaviour can be worked around by inserting a space between the close parentheses and those trailing, but it seems the regex involved with URL parsing is too greedy (assuming regex is involved)

Looks like some other markdown-capable sites have wrestled with this, and some have implemented fancy regex to ignore matched parentheses and others have settled for users escaping close parentheses or percent-encoding the parentheses (the former is not currently supported here).
My suggestion would be to support optional URL quoting, i.e.
[Wikipaedia - Conda (package manager)]("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conda_(package_manager)")
So everything between (" and ") is used as-is, parentheses and all. Not sure how easy that would be to implement though.

I meant the escaping doesn't work, i.e.

Not an issue now, of course. :)
