Text Embedded Links

 
 
 
 
Text attributes can have embedded links.  If the special syntax for the links
is found, then the text will be processed and converted to an underlined
hyperlink.  For example, suppose you wanted to put a link to your
resume in a text attribute, you would enter:
  Click here to see my resume http://www.august.com
RoAccess when displaying the contents of this Text attribute, will remove
the http://www.august.com and create an underlined link to it.  The rest
of the line is what will be underlined.

Likewise you can add links to send pre-addressed email and to download
a file automatically.   Their syntax is:

Click here to send me mailto : simpson @ roaccess.com
Click here to download the latest spreadsheet ftp://alib.com/pub/spr.xls
The Text attribute can contain another text as well, but every time it sees the 
special syntax of a URL, it will convert it into a live hyperlink.

However, when you are in Edit mode, you will see the exact text, and no 
conversions to hyperlinks is done.  The auto-conversion to hyperlinks is a
Display mode feature.
