Hyperlinking in Text Fields

In some circumstances, your text is entered via a plain text field instead of through the WYSIWYG editor. Some examples include the Summary fields in Events and Announcements, or the Directory Info fields. To create a link in these fields:

1. Place double curly brackets around the URL, e.g., {{http://www.wm.edu/}}.
2. For custom link text, add a comma and the desired text, e.g., {{http://www.google.com,Visit Google}}.

Note: the "URL" field in Directory Pages automatically hyperlinks the entered URL... no need for the curly brackets.
