Markdown plugin not parsing class links correctly about typedoc-plugin-markdown

[tgreyuk]

Hello.

I have mocked up a page for this and it does appear to render correctly with my tests (https://github.com/tgreyuk/typedoc-plugin-markdown/blob/master/tests/mocks/default/modules/_doc_comments_.md).

Could I please confirm that you are using the latest version of the plugin? If you are using the latest version then please let me know what version of TypeDoc you are using with any additional useful info so I can replicate the issue.

Many thanks.

So I was using the [[foo]] notation described in the typedoc documentation becasue {@link} was not working... however I noticed that you were using foo notation. This doesn't autolink to the default theme or this one.

For reference I was doing the following Which links to the correct class in the default theme

 * @name AbstractMetadataModule
 * @description
 * Provides the module for the [[AbstractMetadataComponent]]
 * ```json
 * {
 *  declarations: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
 *  exports: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
 *  imports: [
 *    IonicModule,
 *    StackIonSelectModule,
 *  ],
 *  providers: [],
 * }
 * ```
 */```


Using the []()



```/**
 * @name AbstractMetadataModule
 * @description
 * Provides the module for the [AbstractMetadataComponent](./abstract_metadata_component.ts)
 * ```json
 * {
 *  declarations: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
 *  exports: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
 *  imports: [
 *    IonicModule,
 *    StackIonSelectModule,
 *  ],
 *  providers: [],
 * }
 * ```
 */``` 

And it's saying it can't find the file because for the default theme it's `abstractmetadatacomponent.html` 
and for this plugin it's `abstractmetadatamodule.md`

Could we support the [[]] notation that the default theme uses?

Hi.. yes the link i sent you was generated using [[]] notation. Here is the source that is was generated from - https://github.com/tgreyuk/typedoc-plugin-markdown/blob/master/tests/src/doc-comments.ts#L9. I will see if I can replicate the issues you are having somehow. Just to confirm you are using latest version of the plugin?

[DrewLandgrave]

My package.json says "typedoc-plugin-markdown": "^1.0.7",

Here's the full file where the [[]] are not working.

Could it be because i'm getting the AbstractMetadataComponent from a barrell file?

import {AbstractMetadataComponent} from './index';
import {IonicModule} from 'ionic-angular';
import {StackIonSelectModule} from '../../../../../shared/components/stack_ion_select/stack_ion_select.component.module';

/**
 * @name AbstractMetadataModule
 * @description
 * Provides the module for the [[AbstractMetadataComponent]]
 * ```json
 * {
 *  declarations: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
 *  exports: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
 *  imports: [
 *    IonicModule,
 *    StackIonSelectModule,
 *  ],
 *  providers: [],
 * }
 * ```
 */
@NgModule({
  declarations: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
  exports: [AbstractMetadataComponent],
  imports: [
    IonicModule,
    StackIonSelectModule,
  ],
  providers: [],
})
export class AbstractMetadataModule {
}

EDIT:
Just tried changing the barrel to the file itself and it still didn't link correclty

[tgreyuk]

The issue was that the comments inside the @description tag were not being parsed properly.

The issue should now be fixed in new version (v1.0.8).

Many Thanks

Can confirm! Thanks for the quick turnaround 💯
