Support GitHub style relative links

[rpcarn]

Support [Link Text](File Name.md) format for relative links (in addition to the wiki style already supported [[File Name]]) so that Kiwi markdown files to be browsed on GitHub and in readers that support relative links.

I would love to see this to be able to make links to current pages using hyperlink text that is different from the destination using the app. I’m currently using kiwi for remote work on my phone and macdown for work on my desktop.

Me too. I just converted several dozen vimwiki pages to markdown format, and one of the goals was to be able to use kiwi. Now I discovered that all my internal links don't work, unless I were to edit them all to the [[link]] style. This would indeed work, but I lose the ability to have a separate title for the links (I think). For example, [My Things](mythings)

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll take a look at implementing.

Note the slight difference between my example and rpcarn’s. He explicitly states the file extension, and I don’t. I’m using Vimwiki, which allows a default extension to be specified, which I have set to .md. Ideally both cases should work, but I don’t know how difficult such a change would be.

Hi @landakram, thanks for this great app! 🎉 🌮 👏

I'd also love to see relative links implemented. Like @thestumbler, I use Vimwiki and have an existing wiki in Dropbox made up of markdown files, and the links between those files uses uses traditional markdown syntax where the linked file does not have an extension.

(Link Name)[FileNameWithoutExtension]

I'm a developer but haven't done much iOS development, so a PR from me might be slow in coming. Is there any progress on this?

Thanks again, love the app!
