I think it’s because you can add things like .rss, so if you finish off a sentence in brackets with a link the full stop then Discourse thinks it’s all part of the URL.

Thanks all. Looks as though this is a Markdown thing rather than just Discourse, and there are two potential solutions when a sentence within brackets ends with a URL: Surround the URL with angle brackets, though this doesn’t display the URL as the topic title, and the link won’t work when quoted…

i don’t understand why you are including periods and exclamation marks as part of the links. and why are you using the square brackets like that? what is the use case you are doing? [Link: https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-to-discourse-start-here/1 .]

yea that’s exactly how i did this (i guess i should have given the code tho lol) [图片] Lilly: [Link: https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-to-discourse-start-here/1 .]

[图片] david: To explictly choose where the link starts/ends, you can use angle brackets Good to know, thanks! Edit: That link works, though it’s not showing the topic title. I’ll stick to omitting the full stop :slight_smile: [图片] Lilly: yea that’s exactly how i did this That link does…
