Characters disappear if url/label contains valid attributes. about djot.js

[jgm]

Can see same thing with

[hi]({#ab})

[hi]({.ab})

[jgm]

When we match a destination, we (inlines.ts l. 440)

        // convert all matches inside destination to str

The problem is that the attribute parser gives us events for key and value, but not for the =; similarly for the identifier or class, but not the markers # or .. Interior whitespace is also not given an event, so it too will be lost:

% ./djot          
[hi]({a=b c=d})
<p><a href="{abcd}">hi</a></p>

Probably the best fix is to use a different strategy for matching destinations. You might ask, why not just use the position after the ( as the start of the destination and the position before the ) as the end? Because the destination might be broken up by newlines and thus might not occupy a contiguous segment of the input text.

One idea for fixing this would be to have the events parser create multiple +destination/-destination pairs when the URL is split over lines.
parse.ts could then look for multiple destinations and concatenate them. If we were sure that each +destination/-destination pair was on a single line, we could just take all the text between the start and the end.

Reopening; I had to revert the fix because it was buggy.
See #64.

I think the problem is with strMatches in inlines.ts.

Similar issue: [link]({.class})

The function converts all matches to str, but some of the characters, like ., don't generate match events, so they are lost.
