Hyperlinks

In a standard eXtyles configuration, URLs in the Word file will be exported automatically as hyperlinks in the XML:

Example:

https://www.inera.com

will produce the following XML:

<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.inera.com">https://www.inera.com</ext-link>

By default, Cleanup is set up to "flatten" any hyperlinks in the text so that the text that is displayed matches the URL that the hyperlink points to. This is generally the desired behavior for content that will appear in print (so that the reader of the print version can see the URL target).

For electronic-only content, the text that is displayed for the hyperlink can be different from the URL that the hyperlink points to:

Example:

Inera website

will produce the following XML:

<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.inera.com">Inera website</ext-link>

If you require eXtyles to support distinct display text and target URLs in the XML output, contact eXtyles Support.
