Fails for quoted links in markdown

[jessesquires]

I have a scenario where link checking fails because links are quoted, and the final " is parsed as part of the link.

This happens when using a Jekyll include.

Example input:

---
layout: post
title: "My title"
---

My blog post.

{% include image.html
   file="image.jpg"
   caption="My caption."
   source_link="https://example.com"
 %}

Example output:

ERROR: 3 dead links found!

Thank you @jessesquires for creating this issue.

This issue comes from the underlying library this action uses markdown-link-extractor. Which in turn uses marked.

PS:

• Marked.js doesn't parse links in front matter headers correctly tcort/markdown-link-extractor#13
• URLs wrapped in quotes include closing quote markedjs/marked#1716

Its a known issue, and I suggest that you follow up on the original issues. Feel free to close this one.
