Is there a way to hotlink an Edition/Book/etc in the Notes section of an Edition? Something like discogs’ [r] [r=] [a] [m] etc link codes? Or at least have the ability to use some markup in there that allows a link within the site?
Standard HTML works.
I used some links in the contents to Major British Writers: Shorter Edition - Books - ctlgs.
So it does. Just not in the preview. That’s what threw me. Cheers.
Related to this topic, I have noticed that a malformed bit of html in a text field can screw up the rest of the page past where it’s rendered. In my case I accidentally switched my keyboard to insert mode and overwrote a closing quote on an anchor element’s href.
This is annoying, and can be confusing, however it illustrates a more serious flaw in that it opens up an avenue for hackers and other techie ne’er-do-wells to potentially inject dangerous code into a web page and data.
Every input field really needs to be parsed to within an inch of its life to ensure it a) is well-formed, and b) only contains simple markup elements and basic attributes (no styles or js events n that).
Now that html has been blocked (I approve, btw), is there now another more secure way to add simple markup to notes (and profiles, etc), such as bold, italics, bullet/numbered lists, and links within ctlgs? A lot of the Editions I’ve added rely on links to related Editions, and now they’re broken, as are italics.
