hyperlinks in markdown are broken
Closed
when exporting the results of a scrape, the markdown has broken hyperlinks such as:
[
Admin & Relations
](/careers_category/admin-relations)
is it possible to remove the unwanted space after [ and before ] so that the markdown is as expected?

Hello, and thank you for your interest in the Actor!
Website Content Crawler uses the Turndown library to convert from HTML to markdown. I have verified that the library behaves like you describe:
1import TurndownService from 'turndown'; 2const str = `<a href="/careers/career-fields/admin-relations" class="promo-box tab-focus" style="background-image: url("https://content.nationalguard.com/sites/default/files/adminrelations2023.jpg");"><div class="inner"><h4 class="promo-title">Admin & Relations</h4> <h6> 3 Learn more. 4 <i class="fas fa-chevron-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></h6></div> <div class="overlay"></div></a>`; 5const td = TurndownService({headingStyle: 'atx', codeBlockStyle: 'fenced'}); 6td.turndown(str); // returns broken markdown link
I'm afraid that there is nothing we can do on our end. You can open an issue with turndown (https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown), or you could remove the offending links completely with the removeElementsCssSelector
option. Or you could ignore the markdown produced by Website Content Crawler and perform the conversion using a different tool after you download the dataset (using the HTML as input - you need to enable that with the "Save HTML" option).
Hope that helps!
