Dear Maintainer,

rollup-plugin-terser main README  file [1] is
written in markdown and contains:

  MIT © [Bogdan Chadkin](mailto:trysound@yandex.ru)

With --deb-fmt option, this information is extracted by licensecheck
as is, i.e. with markdown syntax:

$ licensecheck -m -r --copyright --deb-fmt --encoding utf-8 README.md
README.md       UNKNOWN [Bogdan Chadkin](mailto:trysound@yandex.ru)

Without --deb-fmt option, this information is *not* extracted:

$ licensecheck -m -r --copyright --encoding utf-8 README.md
README.md       GENERATED FILE  *No copyright*

Could you:
- make licensecheck behavior consistent with or without -deb-fmt option
- convert markdown syntax to canonical copyright line

All the best

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=954248 for related
bug on libconfig-model-dpkg-perl (aka cme)
