I've written a post for consolidating book recommendations, and the links don't have hidden urls. These are links which were cut and pasted from a comment-- the formatting worked there.

Posting (including to my drafts) mysteriously doubles the spaces between the words in one of my link texts, but not the others. I tried taking that link out in case it was making the whole thing weird, but it didn't help.

I've tried using the pop-up menu for links that's available for writing posts, but that didn't change the results.

What might be wrong with the formatting?

I don't know what's wrong, but a peek at the raw HTML editor (there's a button for it in the toolbar) might give a hint.

Thank you.

Posts are html. Comments are Markdown.

I thought I had it solved. I swear there was one moment when a clean copy with links appeared, though it might have been as a draft.

And then the raw html links started showing up.

At this point, I've just posted it without links.
