 * Hi there,
 * Im trying to generate links using custom fields, using the value of the field…
   it would be something like this:
 * Form in the admin area:
 * Name: Jhon Smith
    Web: [http://www.johnsmith.com](http://www.johnsmith.com) e-
   mail: [john@jhonsmith.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-links-from-custom-fields/john@jhonsmith.com?output_format=md)
 * The code you get would be:
 *     ```
       <ul class='post-meta'>
       <li><span class='post-meta-key'>Name:</span> John Smith</li>
       <li><span class='post-meta-key'>Web</span>www.johnsmith.com></li>
       <li><span class='post-meta-key'>e-mail/span>john@johnsmith.com</li>
       ```
   
 * This is what I want:
 *     ```
       <ul class='post-meta'>
       <li><span class='post-meta-key'>Name:</span> John Smith</li>
       <li><span class='post-meta-key'>Web</span> <a href="http://www.jhonsmith.com">www.johnsmith.com></a></li>
       <li><span class='post-meta-key'>e-mail/span> <a href="mailto:john@johnsmith.com">john@johnsmith.com</a></li>
       ```
   
 * Thanks a lot for your help, maybe it’s explained in some other topic, in this
   case, please let me know…
 * Dzoe

 * Where are you getting the information from? Is this user data (like subscribers
   or authors)? or are you using custom fields for each post (and if so, why)?

 * This could be nice, say you have a movie blog, and you want to post IMDB or Wikipedia
   link…
