Squishing hyperlinked whitespace in Google Docs

January 4, 2024 4:50 PM

When drafting in Google Docs, it sometimes happens that I might unintentionally hyperlink a space before or after a word, as shown in this example screenshot. Apart from visually scanning text to try to catch these flubs manually, are there any tools I can use to squish these automatically?

I'm thinking perhaps Find & Replace (maybe with regulation expressions), or a script or add-on. Open to any ideas, though. In case it's helpful, the Gdoc that the screenshot above is taken from can be found here. Thanks!

Response by poster: Meant to add that drafting directly in HTML is not an option.
