Repeating Text with Links problem

**xtom** · 01 July 2011, 05:07 PM

If I repeat text where certain words are linked on all pages the whole lot of the text becomes one link. And once it is repeated it seems impossible to add multiple links in the text, it's all or nothing. But now I notice the footer text in viewfinder theme for example doesn't suffer the same problem when I add a link to it. What am I missing?

Are the text links independent of one another?

What I have discovered is from time to time, additional text added to a text link inherits the link from the linked text and it is very difficult to separate the two. Even if you start a new line. What I do when this happens is create my text somewhere else. Add the link, then copy and paste into place.

I hear what you're saying but it's not that, these steps explain better I think...

1) Put a few words of text on the page
2) Apply Repeat on all pages to the text
3) Highlight one of the words in the text and make it a link in web properties

The whole lot of the text becomes a link instead of just the highlighted word, I think it's a bug

I think you're right -- it's a bug. Same thing happens if you select one word as a link then make a live copy of the text area on the same page, suddenly the entire text area becomes a single link.

Doesn't happen in version 6.
