Hi, I find the capability to put a web link in Element Documentation or in Properties Value field very helpful. 

I am trying without success to do the same with a hyperlink to an entry on my content management system.  e.g. http://MyCMS/mylink/llisapi.dll/link/1234567

If this is possible I would appreciate any tips on why I am not seeing this recognized by the parser.

Thanks very much!

Hi,

Your URL is not recognised because in fact it is not really an URL. An URL should use a fully qualified domain name and not just a hostname. This used to be accepted by Internet Explorer and thus work on some browsers but this doesn't match the official definition of an URL.

Regards,

JB

The text scanner tries to match URLs from this regex expression:

(http|https|ftp)://([\\w-]+\\.)+[\\w-]+([\\w-./?%~#!+@:&=\\(\\)]*)?

I think I've changed that expression about eight times so far.  :o

A possibility is to expose this in Archi's preferences, so a user can edit it to their liking.
