Bug Report

Installation Method

git clone

Environment

Open WebUI Version: v0.3.35
Operating System: Windows 10

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

If I import markdown files into workspace/knowledge for a model, I would expect that a link would get imported with the markdown so that the model has access to the link to provide during prompts.

Actual Behavior:

Markdown is imported without any actual markdown and only plain text is imported. When I ask my model for links from the imported knowledge, it doesn't have it because its stripped out during import.

Description

Bug Summary:
Markdown files (.md) imported into workspace/knowledge will not include important knowledge from the markdown file.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a markdown file that contains a proper link.

Make a link to something [the link](https://microsoft.com)! This link will not show up once imported into open-webui

Save the file as test.md
Go to a workspace model and attempt to import test.md into "knowledge"
Try to view the test.md after import and you will not see the https://microsoft.com
Ask your model for the link and it will not know (because it was stripped from import)
