Description

Tried to link characters from my player group to an article. Created the invite link to get their characters as individual articles to link to and by one character the link broke. Turned out that it was a part of their "Excerpt" in which i speculate (through the help of a reddit guy) that it was the double quotation mark ("). I removed them and reapplied them and the link got fixed.   Down below, a link to my reddit post with screenshots to the bug.   https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldAnvil/comments/1rszihl/person_kind_of_broken/

it happened again and with what i now know, i would assume that the bug occurs if a player writes something or edits their short bio after i linked them in an article.

To what happened this time: my players' characters are linked to an article (type: organization) and one player changed their short bio yesterday and the link broke afterwards. To fix it, i had to go into the character, styling, and change anything in the excerpt. adding a spacing and remove it right after, or anything else, doesn't matter.

i'll try to get more information on that bug, but i wanted to share what i found out this time.

Hey, the issue here (another player than the reported had the same issue as well) is including non-breaking Spaces in the short bio / excerpt of the character. When trying to display the name, the system automatically adds a span element for this space which resulted in the broken name - I've removed it for you for this case and it will be automatically removed from the system from now on, so it should all be resolved!
