Encoded URLs have a before and after
-
Hi,
I always start a blog entry with “MX Lab, http://www.mxlab.eu, started to intercept a new trojan distribution campaign….” and so on. When someone picks up the blog post, my company name and URL to the web site is often published on their site.
I just noticed, when publishing a new blog post, that when you embed an URL with the code
http://www.mxlab.eu, WordPress adds a
before and a
after the URL in the output on the screen.Now, the first words “MX Lab”, the URL and the rest of the paragraph is spread over three lines leaving the layout on the screen quite strange.
Result:
MX Lab,
http://www.mxlab.eu
, started to detect and….When you just type in the http://www.mxlab.eu (without the a href code), the URL is nicely embedded and WordPress seems to publish it as a clickable link. But the URL isn’t opened in a new window because I want the blog post to be left open.
All my previous blog posts are affected in this way! I can not change each blog post by hand or remove the traget option in the HTML.
Any tips, suggestions,… on this.
With kind regards,
Peter Louies -
“Encoded URLs have a

after” is the correct title. When posting the HTML tags have been dropped. -
Encoded URLs have a br HTML tag before and a br HTML tag after
Sorry, seems that the written HTML tags are not kept as plain text when posting this.
