Making Links Live

[Robobod]

Hi,
Ive added a Links Page to my site for other websites and various helpful information, however the links are not linking direct to the required sites, you have to copy and paste the text into your website browser to get to the sites, anyone know the code I need to use to make the text link direct once it is clicked

Very simple to do - you can use any HTML code inside Actinic, fragments, descriptions, etc:

Just be sure to add !!< before and >!! after, eg:

!!<
<table>
<tr>
<td>Title 1</td>
<td>Title 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
>!!

The !!< and >!! allow Actinic to parse the data as HTML.

Thanks, so lets say I was linking to www.ebay.co.uk, how exactly would the code look for that?
Sorry im very new at this

!!< <a href="http://www.number10.gov.uk/">Gordon needs all the help he can get, a link will do</a> >!!

Becomes:

Gordon needs all the help he can get, a link will do

I would also advise on using the 'rel=nofollow' tag on your links for all outgoing (ie. links to other websites) links, as to minimise the loss of 'link juice' like so:

<a href="http://www.yourfriendssitelinkhere.co.uk" rel="nofollow">description here</a>
