  • 1.  RDi 9.8.0.2 - Hyperlinks in RPG source?

    Posted Thu July 18, 2024 08:11 AM

    Good afternoon all..

    I see from the release notes from RDi 9.8.0.2 that there is now support for hyperlinks in RPG source comments - but there's no documentation that I have yet found that explains how to add them - does anyone here know? I've tried adding an HTML anchor tag but that doesn't do it.. there's nothing in the right-click context menu.. 

    Thank you

    Hi Stuart,

    I  have a video on how to do these on my official RDi video site:
    https://youtu.be/--wzKMFOFPk

    The format is:
    @link{https://url} [Optional text]

    Here's an example of the format on 2 lines;

    Thank you! Is there anywhere that the full list/syntax of available tags is documented?

    Hi Stuart,

    in my company we are using this to have a link to a Jira-Ticket.

    example:

    This link opens the assigned ticket in Jira.

    Hello All,

     

    Is there a way to manage hyperlinks in RDi source where the length of the cut-and-pasted link runs over more than one line?

     

    It does in our shop for Jira.

    Hi Jeremy,

    Yes, simply breaking the line like the Jira example below. (the one with a-really-long-url). As long as the next comment includes the } for the @link.
