I am attempting to create a Markdown to be used for hyperlinks. When I do this  
Click [Here for search help] id1

Click[Here for UPD SpreadSheet] [id2](http://updstats)

it works as expected. and if I do this by itself

Click [Here for Year to date] [id3](http://172.18.201.111:8050/app/kibana#/dashboard/7e5be990-28f9-11e7-9112-235f6cbff9de?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(display:Off,pause:!f,value:0),time:(from:now%2Fy,interval:'1M',mode:quick,timezone:America%2FNew_York,to:now%2Fy))&_a=(filters:!(),options:(darkTheme:!t),panels:!((col:6,id:f9cae180-28f9-11e7-8e17-a3fabc81ab4f,panelIndex:2,row:1,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:1,id:c3f83c50-28fa-11e7-b0ef-113330abfd4f,panelIndex:3,row:4,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:6,id:'7a5829b0-28fb-11e7-89ca-df32b0e821af',panelIndex:4,row:4,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:1,id:bdb7d2e0-28fc-11e7-8c41-9147b30ceb73,panelIndex:5,row:7,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:6,id:'5ce49290-28fd-11e7-94e1-bf32f3b45786',panelIndex:6,row:7,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:1,id:'1346f0f0-28fe-11e7-b3cc-4bfc00457acd',panelIndex:7,row:10,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:6,id:'62d3c760-28fe-11e7-aa80-e503a27226a6',panelIndex:8,row:10,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization),(col:1,id:'26498690-28f9-11e7-93a2-b58f3459d5f4',panelIndex:9,row:1,size_x:5,size_y:3,type:visualization)),query:(query_string:(analyze_wildcard:!t,query:'*')),timeRestore:!t,title:UPDStats_YearToDate_Comparison,uiState:(),viewMode:view))

it works as expected.

However if I try to use all three together the program crashed and displays this error message  
 Fatal Error  
[$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!  
Watchers fired in the last 5 iterations:   
[http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.7/$rootScope/infdig?p0=10&p1=[]](http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.7/%24rootScope/infdig?p0=10&p1=%5B%5D) ([https://socomm-gsaconn:5651/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15063:39](https://socomm-gsaconn:5651/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=15063:39))

Version: 5.4.0  
Build: 15063

What am I doing wrong here??

Well that was silly I copied the Markdown and it did what is was supposed to do and rendered the HTML. So nobody could see my code. I was able to solve the problem by using the short URL for my Dashboard link that was crashing the app.
