Discourse Doc Categories links not rendering

[MachineScholar]

For some reason at some point the topics which I have copy/pasted into the index topic have stopped rendering. Seemingly randomly because nothing else has been changed and there is nothing in the error logs.

This is not the right format.

It’s:

Header

• Title: https://..

That’s what I thought too, but this is acceptable formatting according to the documentation:

@Discourse

Here’s an example of an index topic to get you started:

You can start with an optional brief description of the category.

## First section
* https://discourse.example.com/t/topic-title/12
* https://discourse.example.com/t/another-topic-title/34
* Short title: https://discourse.example.com/t/topic-with-a-long-title/56
* Another title: https://discourse.example.com/t/another-topic-with-a-long-title/78

## Second section
* Topic title: https://discourse.example.com/t/documentation-topic/98
* https://discourse.example.com/t/new-topic/76

I didn’t know that, I used title: link since the start and thought it was the only way, sorry about that!

@hugh / @saquetim any ideas here?

Just updating that the issue is persisting. Fully updated and have rebuilt the app.

How many links do you have in this index topic?

I think if you don’t specify the title manually, then it relies on the “inline onebox” feature of Discourse to fetch the title. In your screenshot, that doesn’t seem to have happened.

So I’d suggest either adding the title manually with the title: link syntax, or increasing the “Max oneboxes per post” site setting (defaults to 50).

@david

increasing the “Max oneboxes per post”

Omg that did the trick. I never would’ve connected those dots lol. Thanks!
