Hi everyone, I’ve noticed that when I add a plain url like [https://telenrquiztoday.pk](https://telenrquiztoday.pk) inside a normal sentence, sometimes the preview shows odd spacing or breaks the line in weird ways. Could this be related to how discourse parses links or auto-embeds content? I’m also seeing similar formatting glitches when mixing urls with other markdown, so I’m wondering if there’s a setting or plugin that controls this behavior. Has anyone else run into this or found a clean way to keep links from messing up post layout?
