Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/827

With no-inline-html: false (MD033), I get a false positive for no-bare-urls (MD034) if there's a line break in the HTML tag. For example, if the HTML looks like this then MD034 flags it:

<a class="button" href="https://www.example.com"
>Sign up</a>

But this is okay:

<a class="button" href="https://www.example.com">Sign up</a>

Your first example does not render as HTML according to the CommonMark specification, so the warning of a bare URL is correct.

That's interesting! Okay, although it's inconsistent with browser behavior, I can understand why MD parsers are more particular about where newlines appear inside a tag (it works if I put the newline between tag attributes). Thank you for the quick response!

Okay, although it's inconsistent with browser behavior, I can understand why MD parsers are more particular about where newlines appear inside a tag (it works if I put the newline _between_ tag attributes). Thank you for the quick response!
