I can confirm your problem and it's annoying:

Whenever I insert a hyperlink into my topic notes and then hit the return all text that follows is forever linked to the hyperlink. This is esspecially frustrating if the hyperlink happens to be the first item in the note, because thereafter all text is linked to the hyperlink even if it is just spaces. And therefore it becomes impossible to insert another hyperlink because it will just change the original. It also becomes impossible to remove the hyperlink if there is no plain text or at least an invisible-plain-text-carriage-return already in the note.

 

My workaround is to add empty carriage returns before and after the hyperlink, but I often forget that and end up having to delete the enitre note. Also toggle between Raw format and Rich format does nothing.

 

Has anyone had this problem and/or know the solution? It is not in the manual.

 

Thanks

David

Hi Josh,

I didn't do it your way. but rather typed in all the text, then created the Hyperlink afterwards. Please note attached Screenshot. It worked a treat. I think if you were to even paste in all the text first, and then create the link afterwards, then you shouldn't have that problem.

 

Blessings,

Equally annoying is if you have typed your text and want to hyperlink some of the existing words....to a web page.

I didn't have that problem. See attached screenshot in my reply to Josh. So, why are you experiencing this problem?

Both issues are legitimate bugs. I can reproduce both Jon's bug and the original poster's bug. I've noticed them before but never remembered to say anything. e-Sword uses a third party text control that's probably responsible for the behavior.

 

The details on Jon's bug are this:

And then the text control duplicates the text you highlighted when making the link:

This is a way to have a Hyperlink in your text

If you want to have a Hyperlink at this spot { } so that text is after it. If you want the Hyperlink at the end of the sentance. { } You will have to type the next sentance and then place the cursor as shown below.

Type the text that you want to have without placing a Hyperlink in it. Once you have completed the sentance, place the cursor at the spot where you want the Hyperlink. Note that you will need a space before and after the cursor as shown in the text below.

Eg. To link to Bible Support. To make a Hyperlink at this spot_|_so that text is after it.

If you want the Hyperlink at the end of the sentance._|_You will have to type the next sentance and then place the cursor as shown.

_|_ = space cursor space


To Remove a Hyperlink

To link to Bible Support at this spot BibleSupport so that text is after it.

Easy way to remove a Hyperlink, just select the link as shown. The last letter of spot and the first letter of so included with Hyperlink.

Delete the text, now type in the T and the S and carry on. To link to Bible Support at this spot so that text is after it.

Hyperlink will have been removed.

Thanks all, I don't see the hyperlink now because I have it hidden off the page somewhere far to the left. Eventually I will forget that it is there.

One of the missing posts that Josh mentioned must have been one that B.H. had made.

In it he suggested using ToolTipNT to remove the links.

 

That fantastic tool can strip out the hyperlinks.

Just copy the text from the e-Sword editor and paste it into ToolTip-NT.

 

Use the [Delete] Button in the Hyperlinks section. Viola! Gone!

Then copy and paste back to e-Sword.

Use the newest version of ToolTip-NT.
