i have a weblog with a custom text field in which the client pastes links to documents on external sites. the urls are long and ugly ones so i just want to display them with anchor text “view document”. when i create my link as follows:
<td><a href="{rep_extlink}">View Document</a></td>
it gets output as such
<td><a href=“http://www.google.com”>http://www.google.com</a>’>View Document</a></td>
the data pasted in to the custom field is: http://www.google.com
what would be the best way to print this link using my own anchor text? it seems EE adds the <a> tags itself ... ? im not using any other plugins or extensions in this template but i seem to recall a “auto parse url’s” feature (or bug 
) somewhere. can this be turned off at the weblog or template level somehow?
