 * Hi there
   I created a custom field where I want to enter individual text for each
   event. Until now, I’ve been able to embed links to external sites or download
   links for media in HTML there. But for some time now, these have been displayed
   only as plain text “<a href=…”, not as clickable links. Why is this happening,
   and how can I fix it?
 * Thanks for hints!

   to see the link]_

 * Confirmed, too much escaping happened. This fixes it:
