Focus order - Doesn't include a separate line item for hyperlinks within a text box?
Hi Luciana,
There was as bug back in SL2 where if a text box contained multiple hyperlinks, or they spanned more than one line, the highlighting and/or the destination didn't function as expected. I've been wary of using in-line hyperlinks ever since, and usually split them into single text boxes - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/problem-adding-more-hyperlinks-to-a-text-box
Another issue, perhaps resolvable but I don't know best practice, is that our brand guidelines are strict on colours used, particularly for accessible text. The last time I set a colour palette from scratch in a new project, I was able to set one hyperlink colour as white (which works fine against dark blue).
However if I want to use our other brand colours, including a background light grey, I find myself having to use the text formatting tools to override the link colour. The alternative - by underlining the text instead of adding a hyperlink, and adding the hyperlink via an invisible hotspot (no fill, no border), the same effect is more or less achieved with greater control, and a separate callout in the Focus Order.
To Phil's point, in my most recent course I've typically used buttons, however if it's relating to a policy or Act of Parliament, it's easier to hyperlink the named act.
That is where, while I appreciate it, wish the styles function had been more robust. I want to set multiple hyperlink styles.
