Insert Link dialog is inserting a ! symbol before the URL? which makes Boost not render it as a link, I don’t know if that’s the behavior on web Lemmy.
Repro:
- Start a new post or comment
- Press the link button on the toolbar
- Fill the form and insert the link
- The resulting markdown looks like this:
If you press the preview (magnifier) button, it doesn’t show as a link, and this continues after you post the new message
The other thing is that both fields of the Insert Link dialog have the placeholder “URL”. I know the icons are different but at first glance I found it confusing
You must log in or # to comment.
I’m not using Boost, but isn’t the bang at the start of the URL something to do with link handling on mobile devices? There’s a bot that goes around fixing them that way in some communities.
The bang at the start is usually used for Markdown images whereas regular web links only have the
[text](url)syntax.
Fixed for the next version
thanks Rubén! great app. I tagged the post as fixed.
Nevermind it doesn’t
I came to notify the same behavior
