Link Style is Crashing VS 2015

[drobertson123]

I was attempting to add a Ghost Style markdown link. At the point I entered the link open paren I had Visual Studio 2015 crash completely (and lost a bit of code.) :-(

I now realize that the Markdown style may not have been supported, but the complete system crash for this error should be addressed. The markdown I was entering was as follows;

[Marker interface pattern]( <= then crashed

The resulting error from the activity log is;

3329

On a side note, it would be extremely helpful to have a reference guide to the supported markdown. There seem to be several flavors and I am uncertain what exactly is supported. The website doesn't seem to have any reference to this that I can find.
