Title: Re: Witango-Talk: Displaying text with links

Nope. Metahtml just brings back all the html instead of processing it. I think this is a regex thing. In php you have to do this.

$text = preg_replace('#(https?://[^\s<"\']*)#','<a href="">
There must be an equivalent

Hi,
 
Have you tried encoding=none or encoding=METAHTML?  I store html including links in databases and display it without any problems.

I think this is a job for regex but I am not sure how to do it.

But the Hrref needs to be a link. Do I need to encode the column when I display it?
 
The style works fine but not the link
