    Hi Arjun

        There could be chances that HTL might have filtered thinking it as invalid link. HTL has inbuilt XSS protection. Could you please provide a sample of the link or code you were trying ?

    I have tried to pull few links from the web

    Adobe AEM Sightly

      Are you using Editable Templates - in this case - you can drop a component into an editable template that contains a link.

        Hi Donald,

        I was just trying static templates for now. I want to learn to use editable templates too but it is so confusing for me now. Any way to add links in the static templates?

        Hi Veena,

        It was just normal HTML A tag.

        <a href="my_link_url_goes)_here">

        Understand that. Can you give me that link so that I can test it out ?

        Hi,

        It works, it is just content, can you make sure you have created a tag properly.

        e.g. page component HTL

        <!doctype html>

        <html lang="en">

            <head>

                <!--/* Initializes the Experience Manager authoring UI */-->

                <sly data-sly-include="/libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp" data-sly-unwrap/>

            </head>

            <body>

                <div>This is a demo page <a href="https://www.google.co.in">Click here</a></div>

                <div data-sly-resource="${'parsys' @ resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/parsys'}"></div>

           </body>

        </html>

          Is it possible to use pure html,js and css to design AEM pages rather than using Sightly along with HTML?

          How are you planning to render your FE content ? By content I mean the one which the business authors ?
