@rob006 what's wrong?

@WinterSilence You didn't explained your change and I'm not sure how these changes could help with #286. Right now renderLink() implementation just don't make any sense - you have a lot of dead code, because both preg_replace_callback() calls do exactly the same.

#286 is weird, because there are 2 nearly identical links, but only one of them works. Did you figure out what is so special about second link that it is incorrectly rendered?

Did you figure out what is so special about second link that it is incorrectly rendered?

link don't have guide: prefix: [Filtering Data](output-data-widgets.md#filtering-data) and [Separate Filter Form](output-data-widgets.md#separate-filter-form)

Prefix is bad idea, because prefixed links not works in github wiki.

do exactly the same

i don't want create method with duplicated code

link don't have guide: prefix: [Filtering Data](output-data-widgets.md#filtering-data) and [Separate Filter Form](output-data-widgets.md#separate-filter-form)

First link does not have guide prefix and it works, so that's not it.

@rob006 what link are you talking about?

"Filtering Data" is ok, only "Separate Filter Form" is broken.

@rob006 aaa... you about this: greedy condition in RegExp

Thanks for contributing and sorry for the late review again.

I checked these changes locally and unfortunately they do nothing. Both before and after them the last mentioned problematic link is rendered like this:

<a href="guide-output-data-widgets.html#separate-filter-form">Separate Filter Form</a>

So I guess either the rendered version shown at production site is outdated or there is some additional post processing done at site level.

The bottom line is it can't be merged in the current state.

@arogachev how you test it? ApiMarkdown::process('[Filtering Data](output-data-widgets.md#filtering-data) and [Separate Filter Form](output-data-widgets.md#separate-filter-form) returns correct result

there is some additional post processing done at site level

"site" don't don't post-fix results

1. Using guide console command on the whole en guide (before and after the changes).
2. Might be something here, need to check more thoroughly.

@arogachev 1. this PR changed only yii\apidoc\helpers\ApiMarkdown, incorrect test it by guide command. This PR not full fix for #286.
2. as I'm already told you, this is bug in apidoc

@WinterSilence Can you provide failing unit tests and then show how your change fixes it?
