Hi everyone,
I’m running into a frustrating issue where the model alters my URLs when performing basic text cleanup.
My input text comes directly from a plain Markdown editor. It contains standard, clean links like this:
codeText
[Website](https://example.com)
When I ask the model to edit or clean up the text, it silently modifies the URLs by wrapping them in Google redirects. The output looks exactly like this:
codeText
[Website](https://www.google.com/url?sa=E&q=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com)
Since my source text is strictly from a plain Markdown editor (not pasted from Google Docs or Gmail where these wrappers might sneak in), the model itself seems to be generating and injecting these google.com/url redirects.
Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a specific prompting trick to force the model to preserve Markdown hyperlinks exactly as provided?
