seems the problem is () in url which is a valid character, based on https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.ASP but also could be replaced with %28 and %29 and properly recognised for rendering

Thanks for the issue!

This seems to me like a renderer issue. Which renderer do you use? If I copy the link (with angle brackets) to e.g. GitHub's or Gitlab's comment field and press the "Preview" button, both correctly render the image.

The angle brackets should be allowed here.

GitHub preview I guess and maybe PyPI...

Link with brackets:

Rendered:

Works fine on GitHub. If not on PyPI, then that should be a PyPI bug I think.

I can confirm the issue with the latest version:

$ mdformat --version
mdformat 0.7.17 (mdformat_web: 0.1.0)

$ cat ./edge-case.md

# Edge case

[Split screen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_screen_(video_production))

$ mdformat ./edge-case.md
$ cat ./edge-case.md

# Edge case

[Split screen](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_screen_(video_production)>)

Instead, I would expect mdformat to let the link as-is, or URL-encode the parenthesis as @Borda suggested:

# Edge case
