Title of links for Apple Support Communities Posts

I was just wondering, how do you add the title of the page you are adding as a URL link to add to a post?


EXAMPLE:

Link I am inserting.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208969

What it should be. (Taken from another post)

As Bob points out, the "HREFing" of a link to a plain-language page title only works with Apple links and then not all of them nor all of the time.


The "insert link" that Bob discussed can, with a little extra work, be coerced into create a HREF type link from any url:


1) Click the insert link icon and paste the URL into the resulting entry field:


2) Leaving the insert link window open, type the plain-language name you wish the link to show and highlight it:


3) Click the paperclip icon at the left end of the insert link window:



Your typed text is now a link:

I just pasted your url and it auto changed to the title.

You just use the paperclip icon in the editing window, copy the url there and click return. The url should change to the title. Note that this functionality is sometime buggy. Sometimes it does not work.
