Links on second line don't show up properly

Question

To reproduce:

1. Start typing a message.
2. Press Shift + Enter to create a new line in the same message.
3. Type a link on this line (e.g. [foo](http://example.com))
4. Send the message.
5. You will notice that the message appears as [foo](http://example.com) instead of appearing as foo with the text linked.

Answer 1

It assumes multi-line posts are pastes (from arbitrary sources), so markdown rules don't apply. This is by design.

Just send multiple messages, or don't use fragmented sentences.
