Research direction

Start by reproducing the warning in the markdown preview component with the linked README.md, which contains nested links. Trace how those links are rendered and verify that the preview no longer produces the validateDOMNesting warning while preserving the expected link output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Grab the .md from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daohu527/awesome-self-driving-car/master/README.md

The component will throw an error to console: Warning: validateDOMNesting(...): <a> cannot appear as a descendant of <a>.

Not sure what's required to fix it, but you have the info :)
