Can't insert a link into a Readme.md file in the Text editor #8620

Description

@adam42a

I created a Readme.md file with the NextCloud text editor and created the link by adding it with the link button.

However the URLs displayed are not right.

In my Readme.md file the link shows up underlined and coloured like a link, and clicking on it invokes a URL edit dialog.

When I open the Readme.md in emacs, it shows me this pure text, which looks wrong.

- Governing Document (Constitution): \[file cloud link\](<https://cloud.ecocounts.community/f/42486>)

If I try to use this Readme.md file as the source for another display, for instance the Welcome widget which puts the content on my NextCloud landing page, then the links are not clickable.

To Reproduce

Create a readme.md with a list of files in your cloud with a file name and a link to the open it like this:

My File 1: https://my-next-cloud.tld/f/52741
Another file: https://my-next-cloud.tld/f/521112

and so on.

Expected behavior
The markdown link shouldn't have chevrons or slashes that render it useless in some displays.
