      If I want to link to this page on wikipedia, I can't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren't_gonna_need_it

      It's because of the apostrophe in the URL.

      If I write the following markdown:

      Yay for [YAGNI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren't_gonna_need_it)!

      I end up with an <a> with no link.
