For the following example, Autolink does not show the full text.

BabelMark result :

</p>

The link url is right but the link text missing the ending 7.

@MihaZupan commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2019):

The issue here is the difference between the definition of a regular link and an autolink.
CommonMark states that backslashes will not work in autolinks (but will in links).

@yishengjin1413 As this is an Autolink, this means that the backslash in this case is not discarded but percent-encoded.

I believe the correct HTML for this markdown is

<p><a href="https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/23/Introducing-Windows-Defender-Security-Center/%5C#m4mv5W0GYKZpGvfA.97">https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/23/Introducing-Windows-Defender-Security-Center/\#m4mv5W0GYKZpGvfA.97</a></p>

In your example, the URL https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/23/Introducing-Windows-Defender-Security-Center/%5C#m4mv5W0GYKZpGvfA.97 will not be recognised as valid on the server anymore.
