Syntax Error on empty anchor tag

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

I had originally report this to the mdx project but they weren’t able to recreate this issue so I’m opening the issue against docz now to see if it may be the usage of mdx here.

I managed to simplify breaking code to this:

[foo](#)

<a></a>

<a></a>

[foo](#)

<a></a>

If any of these elements gets removed, the compilation is successful. 🤔
