I am looking for a way to paste a text that will be converted into an hyperlink and have the displayed text modified, without passing thru the dialog box.
Something like in Mattermost: (Click here)[www.google.com], which will display "Click here" as a hyperlink to "www.google.com".

Currently, I type [www.google.com], then I need to go back, click the link and enter my text (eg "Click here").
I have a list of work item htat I am pasting from TFS and don't want to go back to each link to make it look good.

 

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Hi @Alexandre Beaulieu

you can type this in the Confluence Editor:

[Click here|http://www.google.com]

But you have to type it, Copy and Paste is not working. And don't forget a blank space after the closing bracket.

Another way is using the markup editor:

There you can copy and paste also.
