You really want it? Markdown himself makes link, or try this

>>> Template("""Text [Dr. Bunsen (Seth Brown)]({{ "http://drbunsen.org"|urlize }}) more text""").render(c)
u'Text [Dr. Bunsen (Seth Brown)](<a href="http://drbunsen.org" rel="nofollow">http://drbunsen.org</a>) more text'

Triage Stage: UnreviewedDesign decision needed

According to the documentation the urlize filter is not meant to handle markdown formatting. In fact, it only supports plain URLs and a very simple syntax (text of your link http://yourlink).

Unsurprisingly, when you use it on some markdown, the matching won't work as expected. Here, the URL Django finds is http://Brown)](http://drbunsen.org, which is why it eventually fails.

In my opinion it's a wontfix: I think Django does not have to implement markdown-specific functions, and as d1ffuz0r pointed out, you have a way to achieve your (apparent) goal. However, I set it as a DDN because some people may think otherwise.

Same opinion here. Markdown syntax should be passed to the "|markdown" filter.
