This may be caused by an issue in the markdown-it dependency: markdown-it/markdown-it#1058

Hi, may I add a similar issue here, or should I create a standalone item?

We have our links containing dashes escaped by the web help handler in a way they both look incorrect, and lead to 404 when following them:
https://docs.zowe.org/stable/web_help/?p=zowe_dbm-db2

Reproducible in Zowe CLI 8.8.0

@sosadchuk I believe this is the same issue caused by markdown-it not parsing MD-escaped URLs correctly. Thanks for reporting it 😋 Older versions of markdown-it stripped out the backslashes but we can't downgrade as they have a security vulnerability.
