The core issue seems to be that the markdown renderer stops capturing the username at the first whitespace.Adjusting  the regex to support multi-word usernames, likely by allowing quotes (e.g., @"User Name") or improving the matching heuristic.

This should fix the broken links for manual entry. The "GitHub-style" autocomplete mentioned in the issue description is a great idea, but I think fixing the underlying parser support for spaces is the necessary first step.
