As you can see the link contains & amp ; instead if the &.

Same if I replace the ampersand by the related HTML entity

http://www.example.com?test=test&amp;test3=4

which should be the correct way according to Markdown specs.

Is there any chance of getting this fixed in the foreseeable future?

@c_schmitz this is quite complicated and I unfortunately do not have the enough spare time to spend on this.

You can have a look if the problem is addressed by work-in-progress PR https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/1332 but I'm not sure it is because IIRC I was stuck with fixing URLs when I stopped working on that.

@nenadalm, thanks for proposing a plugin.

It relies on the PHP League's CommonMark library, which I actually considered switching to as an alternative to Parsedown, but unfortunately it requires PHP 7.2.5 and MantisBT still has a minimum of 5.5.0 (note that is planned to change, see 0025956) so we can't use it at the moment.

You should therefore advertise that the plugin has higher requirements than Core MantisBT.
