Edge Cloud Portal (light), adding a link not working

[samuelucich]

Hi,

I created a new page on the portal, and added a hyperlink, published the page, but the hyperlink is malformed. Its prefixing the link I want with the link to the portal?? Like this:

https://samuelucich-trial-fiservdeveloperportal.apigee.io/https://acclaimconsulting.com/

It looks like a link on the page, but doesn't resolve for obvious reasons.....

Hi Samuel,

The markdown system does not currently support external links. We have a task to resolve this in a future release. For now try adding the link as a direct href tag, instead.

<a href="https://acclaimconsulting.com">Acclaim</a>

Looking into the issue a bit more it seem as if the markdown system does support this, but you need to ensure that there is no leading "/" in the url (which is inserted automatically):

[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)

instead of:

[http://www.google.com](/http://www.google.com)
