I’ve been trying to produce a well-formed hyperlink in a document without success. The destination url I want to be reachable by clicking on a bit of text is of the form : extensions.website.org
Using Edit > link I can put this text into the dialogue box and select the radio button for ‘Web’ which adds the prefix http://
Clicking on this link in my document just produces an error message "Unable to detect the URI-scheme of “extensions.website.org”. To get rid of that error message, I have to add ‘www’ to make my link ‘www.extensions.website.org’ but then the server cannot be found. That is not a scrivener problem but a server issue at website.org so I really need to present the link without the ‘www’
If I deselect ‘web’ and retry using ‘No prefix’ and typing in ‘http://extensions.website.org’ then scrivener immediately converts this back to ‘web’ with ‘extensions.website.org’ (as revisiting Edit > link shows).
Another link which browsers confirm does work with the www added into the link :
www.anothersite.com/documents with ‘web’ selected fails to open the site with this error message :
'cant find the server at http%3a%2f%2fwww.anothersite.com%2fdocumentation%2f ’
The different browsers I’ve tried cannot decode the %3a, %2f that Scrivener puts in to replace ‘:’ and ‘/’
I haven’t found any way to tune scrivener to my way of thinking. Has anyone cracked this issue with Scrivener in linux ?
