Depending on how your final expression is, \S might do the trick, or
you can use a negative lookbehind assertion:

  \S\@<!

So for your markdown words, it could be something like

  \S\@<!\S\+

Or to match just the boundary \S\@<!\S\@= on the 'left' side and \S\@<=\S\@! on the 'right' side. This will work at the start/end of line too
