Markdent pareses [link text](url) just fine, but it thinks that [link text] (url) is a text chunk followed by an auto-link in paraentheses.

At least in github-flavoured-markdown, a space between the link title and the url is considered to be fine. I'm happy to send through a patch (or a pull request on github) to fix this, but I'd love to know if you'd want me to change it for all markdowns, or just GFM.

Many thanks for a great module!:D

The Markdown spec at
http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#link says "[t]o create
an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately after the
link text�s closing square bracket."

I think that "immediately" suggests that space shouldn't be accepted, but
I'd happy to accept a patch that adds this to the GFM dialect.

Thanks,
