Want to include rich text/html in Portal Introduction field to display hyperlinks, etc

Question

I am trying to add formatting, more specifically rich text or html (ie. hyperlinks) in the Introductions section of the Portal.

In Portal Configurations, if I try to add html it displays the raw code.  Why is the rich text editor failing to render basic HTML/Markdown links in that specific field?

Thank you @Fernando Eugênio da Silva this is helpful, I figured out a few of these through trial and error but there are several I could not figure out and this document helped.

I do have another question, but I will post a new topic as it is more involved.

Thanks again!

@Clint Mitchell , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Have you tried to follow this text formatting doc here: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=links?

For general cases, these are the format accepted for portal descriptions in JSM.
