Rise broken external link issue
When I try to link to the following URL in Rise: https://www.qp.alberta.ca/1266.cfm?page=A25P5.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779744060
it converts it to :
https://www.qp.alberta.ca/1266.cfm?page=A25P5.cfm⋚type=Acts&isbncln=9780779744060
and shows a broken link?
This is a pickle... Thanks ahead for any help :)

Hi Gerry,
Greetings fellow Albertan.
I just added your link as an Embed block and also added a link to paragraph text.
It doesn't do any conversion and both worked for me.

Hi Gerry,
Got it.
Try linking directly to the pdf: https://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/Acts/A25P5.pdf

hmm i can download these as an option too... :)

Follow that link.
Then click on View Full Screen to get the link to the PDF.
I would recommend not downloading the PDF files, as these Acts change and the student will end up with an out of date version.

yes agreed... Oh I see fullscreen gets you the direct link... thanks.. not a solution for the rise error but a workaround! and thats all we need :) Thanks again, have a great day!
