Markdown output - links are [ text instead of [text

[scraggo]

An issue I've noticed is that links don't output as markdown as expected:

Example passage: "Here is a link to something"

Actual markdown output: Here is a[ link](example.com) to something

Expected markdown output: Here is a [link](example.com) to something

I will check this out. I suspect that the link definition in the Google doc includes the space, and Docs to Markdown takes that literally, but we should be able to correct that during conversion.

Hi! Still having the same problem. Would love an update. Thank you!

[evbacher]

Can you share a document that exhibits this problem? I'd like to be able to reproduce.

As I suspected, if the link in the doc has a leading space, the converted link will have a leading space as well. Results from a test doc:

Here's a link that has some extra space before and after:[ google.com ](google.com)something else.

Here's a link that does not have any extra space before or after: [google.com](https://www.google.com).

I may fix this in a future version -- the converter is quite literal now.

One question -- do the links still work for you? I tried this:

This is a[ link to google.com ](http://google.com)with leading whitespace.

and it worked fine at markdownlivepreview.com.
