Hyperlinks - both external and internal - are not preserved when printing multiple pages
on the same sheet (see "Imposition options" on page770).
HTML element: a
When you add elements, such as text, images or a table, to the content of a template, you are
actually constructing an HTML file. It is possible to edit the source of the HTML file directly in
the Designer; see "Editing HTML" on page189.
The HTML tag of a hyperlink or mailto-link is <a>. This is sometimes called an anchor tag. For a
list of attributes, see https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp.
Adding a hyperlink or mailto link
1. Select text or an image.
Note
Although it is possible, it is not advisable to add a Hyperlink to other elements, such
as a Paragraph or Div. HTML 4 specifies that hyperlinks and mailto-links may only
contain inline elements. Block elements, such as a Div, may not appear inside a
link. HTML 5 states that the link "may be wrapped around entire paragraphs, lists,
tables, and so forth, even entire sections, so long as there is no interactive content
within (e.g. buttons or other links)"; see https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-
semantics.html.
2. Click the Insert hyperlink button on the toolbar, or on the menu, select Format >
Hyperlink > Insert.
3. Select URL to create an external hyperlink pointing to a web page or an internal
hyperlink pointing to another page in the document; or select Email to create a mailto-link
that will open the default email client when clicked.
