GitHub Markdown Links In List Do Not Display Correctly

Question

Issue

I noticed on GitHub that links do not display correctly when they are inserted into a list as seen below.

I created a bug for this also on GitHub a week ago but have not heard back yet.

Working image using markdown

**Here is a link:**
[Link](https://github.com/)

Image in a list

**Here is a link in a list:**
<ol>
  <li>Text [Link](https://github.com/) text</li>
  <li>Text</li>
</ol>

Is there a reason for not using only markdown, because this works

**Here is a link in a list:**

1. Text [Link](https://github.com/) text
2. Text

I think you cannot mix markdown inside html
