I guess you could call it "Link Text", or you could call it by one of the 3 or 4 other names that are used to describe the text that you see rendered in a link. But you've obviously not actually used the dialog, because there is NO PLACE in it for the "Link Text" by any name. And this makes me wonder why you're posting answers here when you've never actually tried it yourself.
And yes, one could just type it all out "longhand". But I can do that with the free editor I got on my Mac. ~S On Thursday, May 3, 2018 at 11:26:35 PM UTC+1, David Donachie wrote: > > You would call that the link text. > > What you want to do is type the link text first, then select it, then > press cmd-ctrl-a and fill in the dialog, which will result in your text > wrapped in a tag. > > Or just type > > <a href="foo.com">Link Text</a> > > David > > > On 3 May 2018, at 21:11, Seamus de Mora <seamus...@gmail.com <javascript:>> > wrote: > > This: > <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZHKfeSQy1FE/WutsX1H5YEI/AAAAAAAAAaY/o3PoU8w4BRMsp6LF28ktpimQf8C_cMEmACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2018-05-03%2Bat%2B9.06.23%2BPM.png> > > > Yields this: <a href="https://www.keysight.com/main/techSupport.jspx"; > name="name" title="title" target="target" id="id" class="class"></a> > > > I'm sorry, but this just does not make sense to me.
