FEX: How to add links in the overview text?

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello, I would like to have the text in my Matlab submission appear as a hyperlink:
https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27659-pivlab-particle-image-velocimetry-piv-tool-with-gui
I have several links on that page that lead to documentation etc., but they are only displayed as text.
Thanks!

Not many people work with the FEX interface that often, and those who do might not be very active on Answers.
I get the new editor when trying to edit one of my submissions. There it is easy to mark text as a link. Which editor are you getting? Or are you using the option of displaying the readme from GitHub? In that case you should edit the md file there.
I also think it is ironic that you are complaining about links displaying as text, while you posted the link to your submission as text yourself.

Hi, the "problem" is that my toolbox is packed dynamically: I modify the project file with a script (exchanging the version number, modifying the included files etc), then automatically packing the submission as toolbox, automatically zipping and uploading to my ftp server. The only manual step I have to do is to upload the packed toolbox to github. FEX then gets the description on the FEX site from the packed toolbox file on github and updates the text on FEX. I want to avoid to manually format text on FEX.
But you are right, I should check the "displaying the readme from GitHub" option, and then just work with this text. I hope that links are converted correctly...
