URL in Notes text mangled when exporting html?
« on: July 17, 2013, 11:35:15 pm »
We use urls in the text within the Notes field of the element property dialog. The urls are created using the hyperlink tool button above the notes field.

The urls work fine within sparx, but when the notes are exported using Documentation>>HTML Report..., the url is prepended with "http://" and this causes an issue if you want to use https (which is what we require for the urls we are linking to).

For example if I want to link to:

https://www.google.com

the link works fine in sparx, but when exported to html the link becomes:

http://http//www.google.com

which is a bad link.

This has been flagged as a bug sometime ago. The only solution we found (until Sparx actually fix) is to use someting like tinyurl to create a http link to your https url...
