Standalone bracketed URLs like <https://google.com> are not highlighted properly in editing modes, however, are properly interpreted as links in reading mode.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Obsidian.

  2. Switch to editing mode (live preview or source mode).

  3. Insert a standalone URL in angled brackets, like <https://google.com>, into the editor.

  4. See the closing bracket not highlighted properly:

Incorrect preview of <url> link in last line of document

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new document, paste following markdown:
[Obsidian Forum](https://forum.obsidian.md/)
<https://forum.obsidian.md/>
https://forum.obsidian.md/
<https://forum.obsidian.md/>

Make sure that last line does not have linebreak (CR/LF or whatever your line endings are),
i.e. the last > in the last URL is the last character in the document.

  1. Position cursor somewhere before the last line.

  2. Observe the rendering of the last line preview.

Expected result

Link is rendered as underlined https://forum.obsidian.md/

Actual result

There is a trailing > character at the end.

If I add a linebreak after the final line, trailing > disappears from the preview.

This is purely a cosmetic issue, and a very minor one at that.

I would not mind if Obsidian forced last line break in the document, in fact I do exactly that in most of my text files using EditorConfig plugin in VSCode / SublimeText etc.

[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true

Confirmed on iPadOS.

Steps to reproduce

  1. in sandbox vault
  2. create a new file
  3. set contents to
some text
<https://www.google.com>

Leave no newline at end of document

  1. move cursor off the URL link so live preview renders the line without markdown <> showing

Expected result

https://www.google.com should render without the beginning and closing angle brackets in live preview.

Actual result

Renders as

https://www.google.com>

Adding a newline after the URL link convinces live preview to render as expected.
