Accept HTML markup for links first, then parse URLs about react-linkify

The screenshot you shared is the expected (default) behavior.

What you're doing seems to be best solved using dangerouslySetInnerHTML, as you suggested. We don't intend this library to be a full-fledged html parser, which is what it'd take to solve the scenario you've described.

However, you can write a custom matchDecorator (follow https://github.com/tasti/react-linkify/blob/master/src/decorators/defaultMatchDecorator.js) to implement your own parser. This is probably the way to go.

I'll close this issue, but if you need more guidance feel free to re-open.

Thanks. I just went for a different route and I entirely understand that you don't want to bloat the module with extra stuff like that. Cheers for getting back to me on it though!
