Hi. As I was doing some editing I noticed that the textile I used for linking sources was not working anymore.
I got around it by using the other linking textile but I wanted to mention it just in case.

I do not know if this problem is only on my side or if it's from the website. ^^;;;

Here is an example of a picture with the textile that don't work anymore :

(if you go in edit mode, you can see the textile is still in the notes but doesn't work).

Here is an example of a picture with the other textile, the one that works :

You need to add quotes around href values if you're going to use regular html.

If you want to use textile and not have to mess with all those brackets, just use:

"text":insertURLhere

But you must use a URL beginning with http:// or https:// or else it wont work and you'll be left with plain text.

Ok thanks. There is one thing I am wondering now, is the need for quotes new?
I remember having checked if the links for sources worked before and it's only now that I have seen them not working.
It's a bit weird to me. X D

Quotes have always been a requirement as far as I'm aware. it's the only way for html to know the start/stop of your URL. That's the reason why the textile equivalent won't always work. Html is the fail safe way of adding rich text and images, but textile will work in most cases if you are feeling lazy/want to be more productive. But if you do use html, you just have to remember to include all elements/end tags otherwise you may as well be dividing by zero instead of adding html elements.

Try using this:
<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com">Name of the Link</a>
It'll come out like this:
Name of the Link
