Steps to reproduce:

Link parsing is broken for URL that ends with a dash. The Javadoc tool is a prominent example where such links are used. Only the last of these URLs are properly linkified:
 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString--
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString-->
"http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString--"
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString--)
 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString%2d%2d


Actual results:

Only http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString is linkified, but that anchor is not defined on that page.


Expected results:

Links should include the "-". According to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 , the "-" is a character in the unreserved category, and those can legally appear in the fragment.
