Issue

When you insert a variable, the links often include an extra space before and after the text, even though these don't exist in the variable name. They need to be manually deleted, otherwise the links look this this variable_link in the email, with an extra linked space before and after the text.

Expected Behavior

The link should have no spaces surrounding the variable text when entered into the template.

Actual Behavior

When inserted into the email marketing template, the link text has a space before and after it.

Possible Fix

Find out where in the code spaces are being introduced into the text of the link and remove them.

Steps to Reproduce

Edit an email marketing template.
Insert a variable.
Check the template and more often than not, the link will include a space before and after the link text, which needs to be manually deleted.

Context

Low priority. Annoying to remedy each time, but a low priority.
