Sebastian Kabis	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate Gravity Forms HTML elements with a link to a PDF. Symptoms: I expected to see formatting markers in the translation editor. Instead, I got only plain text options. I don't see any options to edit the URL. I tried pasting the link and it highlights it as a link but complains about missing 'formatting markers' afterwards. Questions: How can I edit the URL in the translation editor?

Sebastian Kabis	Nice, this worked thanks. Didn't think of searching for the URL and thought it should be right next to my content field.
