I marked [#test](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23test&src=hash) and expected that it will be link like #test, but Marked showed it in plain text.

Markdown Web Dingus works as I expected. So I guess that Marked have an issue to parse a compound markdown code.

   Marked uses MultiMarkdown, which actually creates this from your text:

          <p><span class="externalcitation">[#test]</span>(https://twitter.com/search?q=%23test&amp;src=hash)</p>

   (You can see it in source view). That syntax triggers citation markup.

   Oh, syntax extension of MultiMarkdown, I see.

   I fixed this problem by replacing # to it's character reference (&num;).
   [#test]((https://twitter.com/search?q=%23test&src=hash))

   You can also use escaping:
