[Xerte] Page wizards - text formatting

[johnathan.kemp at ntlworld.com]

Hyperlinks in text pages work but do not display as underlined text.

The right click menu in Xerte that offers text formatting options does not include an option to underline text, but you can achieve an underlined hyperlink by wrapping the hyperlink in <u> and </u> brackets.

I am adding hyperlinks into text icons via a text box in a wizard without any problems, other that as mentioned above the hyperlinks are not highlighted unless you add underline tags manually - these can also be added via the wizard.

Kind regards

Johnathan
