Bug: ox-md: URL in HTML tables should not use markdown syntax [9.3.1 (9.3.1-dist @ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.3.1/)]

[Dominique Dumont]

Hi

The following org-mode table is exported in plain markdown mode as an
HTML table:

| name   | link   |
|--------+--------|
| debian | [[http://www.debian.org][debian]] |

Unfortunately, the link inside the table is exported with Markdown
syntax:

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="org-left">debian</td>
<td class="org-left">[debian](http://www.debian.org)</td>
</tr>

This is not allowed according to markdownguide.org : "You can’t use
Markdown syntax inside block-level HTML tags. For example, <p>italic and
**bold**</p> won’t work."

See https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax#html-best-practices

Could you fix ox-md.el to export links (and maybe other markupds) as
HTML inside a table ?

All the best
