Did you know that for HTML5 outputs, you can add an external webpage to a Paligo topic? To do it, you need to set up a link with a specific role attribute and value.

How an embedded external link behaves

Note

Paligo cannot validate external links, so make sure you test your content and verify that it works.

To embed a webpage:

Alternatively, you can Create a Topic and edit that.
Position the cursor inside a para.
Select the Insert tab in the Toolbar.
Select Link and choose External link.
Enter a Link label and Link target.
Leave the link label field empty to show the URL.
Select Insert.
Select the link element in the Element Structure Menu and choose Go to element.
Add the role attribute in the Element Attributes Panel and set the value to external.
Add the xlink:href attribute and enter the URL as value.
Select Save.
Select the Preview tab in the Toolbar.
Publish to HTML5 and test that the embedded page works.
