Support,
FYI - This one is wordy
So Tom and myself have tackled to issues with having an HTML link from within a presentation and after some testing this is what seems to be the trouble....
1. Create a HTML link on a presentation such as <a href=link>click>here</a>
2. Save an Test and what is seen within the presentation is the text of the entire tag ie: <a href=link>click>here</a>
3. Investigate the TAG being produced and discover that when the presentation is parsed the "<" and ">" tags are stripped and replaced with their special characters such as > and < ( which when HTML is rendered produces < and >
The questions are....
1. Is this being done in the Rdd file and if so can that be changed?
2. The HTML is generated fresh each time the presentation is called,is that correct? (Editing the HTML_GENERATION dir saves until the presentation is called again)
3. Or are we missing something all together?
Thank you,
Christopher

We do not officially support hyperlinks that are embedded in a presentation explicitly using HTML text. Instead you should create a text or tag element and specify its "Hyperlink" properties (note, there is a setting that allows you to call arbitrary URL).
Answering the questions:
The tags are stripped when an HTML is generated from an RDD file. Yes, the HTML is generated each time the presentation is called.
