How do I edit a link I pasted into $Text that appears as a hyperlink?

Q & A - getting started with Tinderbox

I pasted a link into text which appears as a hyperlink. How do I edit it. I do not want to create a new web link, I want to edit the web link it created.

When I highlight the weblink, it does not give me the option to edit the link. If I look at the Export tab, it does not reveal the link.

Thanks Tom

Try “Browse Links” from the View menu.

BTW, I use markdownf or this Anchor, it makes managing links much easier.

To edit the target URL, open the Link Browser (View ▸ Browse Links…), select the link in question and edit the Url box contents.

To edit the anchor text, as clicking it opens the link, click next to the link in $Text and use the arrow key to more into the text cursor into theandchor and an then edit.

With styled text with weblink on the clipboard:

  • Paste. This will paste as styled $Text (for supported) style and the weblink will be adopted asa weblink. For big/complex $Text content, you might want to Tab-click refresh the document window before trying to use the pasted text.
  • Paste and Match Style the anchor text of the source ink is pasted as unstyled text.
    • If the anchor text is the actual full URL, the URL is shown but is plain test. If you type a Return or space after the URL the URL in the $Text , the URL will be detected.
