String containing links starting with http:// and wrapped in html tags are parsed incorrectly

Steps to reproduce:

const userInput1= '<a href="www.google.com">Google</a>'
const userInput2= '<a href="https://www.google.com">Google</a>'
      <Linkify>
      {userInput1}     // Works; extracted link='https://www.google.com'  
      {userInput2}    // Fails; extracted link='www.google.com">Google</a>'
      </Linkify>

Any fix for this?

Hi @aadil-shaikh-agileinfoways, are you using linkify-react for this? I am unable to reproduce:

Are you using linkifyjs or linkify-string? These do not support parsing HTML by default. You have to use linkify-html, linkify-element, linkify-react. Or you could use another HTML parser plugin before processing text nodes with linkify.

Sorry I gave a wrong example. I have updated the example in the original post. Can linkify-html help in this case?
