Type: Bug

Issue Description

See below.

Steps to Reproduce

/// <summary>
/// <see href="https://example.net/eol/"/>
/// <br />
/// <see href="https://example.net/dot-eol/"/>.
/// <br />
/// <see href="https://example.net/X-eol/"/>X
/// <br />
/// <see href="https://example.net/dot-X-eol/"/>.X
/// <br />
/// <see href="https://example.net/space-dot-eol/"/> .
/// </summary>
class Foo {}

Expected Behavior

Tag should have been unaffected by whatever follows it.

Visual Studio doesn't have this problem:

Actual Behavior

URL tag is damaged whenever it's immediately followed by a period (“.” U+002E FULL STOP) then end-of-line.

A mysterious slash (“\” U+005C REVERSE SOLIDUS) is appended to the URL.
