tl;dr why do my org links not have a space before them (e.g. check out thisLINK)? I feel I’m missing something very basic here.

I was using org-roam today in doom emacs and forgot how irritating adding a new node is while writing.

It nestles nicely up to the text before it - with no space in between. After posting on r/orgroam a kind soul told me this might be a wider issue - at least related to org itself, and maybe doom.

Does anyone know how to get a leading space before the node name / link? For example; my nodes come out looking like:

something interesting is in thisNODENAME/LINK check it out

For the love of RMS I want a space between this and NODENAME

I’m clearly being dumb, but can’t figure this out. Surely enough people use emacs / doom emacs / org mode, and they are not all adding links everywhere with no leading space?

A suggestion on r/orgroam was put a double space before a link - is that it?

If I understood correctly, the problem turned out to be caused by evil but the post doesn’t mention evil anywhere! Always mention evil, and, more generally, explain how to reproduce the problem.
