Re: HTML spans with links
Thank you, I'm not surprised you knew the answer. So, one link is okay but two are not? We're using paragraph metadata where we can, but in most cases it isn't possible. We had to abandon the browser widget because we need field properties that are not supported there. It's a challenge, because the source files are complex. If LC can do the span substitutions reliably there won't be an issue. On 2/6/20 4:07 PM, hh via use-livecode wrote: The htmltext of a field is based on HTML3 or before.

HTML spans with links
If I set the htmlText of a field to HTML that contains a span, and if that span also contains an anchor or href link, LC separates the span into multiple ones. For example, a field's htmlText set to this: This is some text that contains the metadata.href="#fn">linkOne And here is some more text. linkTwo becomes this when retrieved: This is some text that contains the metadata.href="#fn">linkOne And here is some more text. href="#en">linkTwo How come it does that?
