How to create linked text

When you add a Text/HTML module to a page, you can use the link tool in the text editor to easily convert plain text into a link. This article outlines the steps.

1

Drag and drop a Text/HTML module onto the page and add text

Click Add Content to open the content tray. Then drag and drop a Text/HTML module onto the page and type or paste your text into the module.

2

Select your text and click the link icon

Use your cursor to highlight the plain text you would like to become a link. Then, click the link icon in the text editor to open the Link dialog.

3

Verify the link text

In the Link Text dialog, review the text that you would like to link, to ensure you will correctly link all of the correct letters or characters.

4

Select a link type

Use the Link Type drop-down menu to select the type of link you want to create.

• Insert Link: Directs users to a page within your website (default option)
• Link to Document: Directs users to a document on your server
• Anchor: Creates a placeholder to create links within a single page.

5

Enter the link URL

Then, click into the URL field and type/paste the link URL.

(If you select an internal page from the Link to Page selection box, there is no need to manually type/paste the link URL. Simply select the page from the drop-down list to choose the page to which you'd like to link.)

PRO TIP: Check the box Open in new tab to identify if the link should open in a  new browser window/tab in a visitor's internet browser. Leave the checkbox empty to open in the  same browser window/tab.

6

Select link style

Finally, use the Button Styling drop-down menu and choose  None.

PRO TIP: Make the links on your website stand out by adding them in the style of an HTML button! Read these instructions to learn how.
