How can I have a link in a text element that contains an ampersand?

Hi, on

Your issue is caused by HTML encoding. On this page you can see that ⟨ refers to 〈  on HTML. That is why the link you provided is distorted on the HTML field. Please see what you should do to resolve this:

1. Open your HTML editor and click anywhere on your link. When the cursor is on your link click here on the editor:

2. This will trigger a small pop-up where the URL and text to display of your link is shown:

Please change both URL and Text to display entries with the following link which is the correct link you'd like to display on your form:

This should resolve the link being distorted on your form. I hope this helps. Please let us know if the issue still persists though.
