Hello,
I am quite a beginner with Logseq.
As usual I was entering notes in my journal, I copy/pasted a title of the document, selected text and copy/pasted the URL of the document. Obviously, I intended to get an external link entitled as the document.
Here is the text:
[GUIDE POUR LA RÉDACTION
DE RÉFÉRENCES BIBLIOGRAPHIQUES, Université de Lorraine](https://bu.univ-lorraine.fr/sites/default/files/users/user779/Guide%20biblio%20APA%202022-2023.pdf)
And the result I get is not, as I intended to get:
GUIDE POUR LA RÉDACTION
DE RÉFÉRENCES BIBLIOGRAPHIQUES, Université de Lorraine
In Logseq this is not interpreted as a link, as one can see below:
It seems to me that Logseq does not interpret it this way since it does not appear as a link, but as the markdown syntax. I imagine there is an incompatibility between this text ad the markdown syntax or interpretation made bay Logseq, but after searching for the reason I can’t tell why.
For reference, to markdown and Logseq beginners like me, but maybe also for Logseq developpers, since in this post it seems to be correctly interpreted, one could consider it a Logseq malfunction.
And one thing leads to another,...
While I was writing my message I thought of searching for the solution into markdown language references…And one thing leads to another, I just got to the source of the issue and the solution.
I browsed the Markdown guide and hence I tried using the HTML syntax as recommended in the Link Best Practices section:
<a href="https://www.example.com/my great page">link</a>
instead of the usual syntax:
[link](https://www.example.com/my great page)
even if the URL seemed to me correctly written.
The text input I entered:
<a href="https://bu.univ-lorraine.fr/sites/default/files/users/user779/Guide%20biblio%20APA%202022-2023.pdf">GUIDE POUR LA RÉDACTION
DE RÉFÉRENCES BIBLIOGRAPHIQUES, Université de Lorraine</a>
The result I got:
As using this syntax seemed to solve the problem, even if the visual aspect is a it different. This led me to think the syntax actually is wrong.
Comparing the two blocs I noted that as I pasted the title of the document, a line break was included in the document title and deleting it solves the problem.
Here’s the correct syntax, no line break included:
[GUIDE POUR LA RÉDACTION DE RÉFÉRENCES BIBLIOGRAPHIQUES, Université de Lorraine](https://bu.univ-lorraine.fr/sites/default/files/users/user779/Guide%20biblio%20APA%202022-2023.pdf)
and the result
