    Description

      Summary

      Currently, the new editor basically works with links in a binary way:

      • You can paste the link directly into the page;
      • You can select some text/place the mouse cursor on the page and call CMMD + K to add the link.

      When it is about links to Confluence pages:

      • Pasting the link will enter it as <ac:link> in the HTML code of that page;
      • Selecting some text/placing the mouse cursor in the editor and calling the link macro will generate an <a href> entry in the HTML code.

      The difference between how the links to Confluence pages work here can provide us with a negative impact when we are exporting this page to HTML - links to Confluence pages that are not set as ac:link won't be converted by the exporting process to links within exported HTML files but as weblinks.

      Suggestion

      Change the way that Confluence reads links to other Confluence pages in a manner that it understands they should be <ac:link> instead of <a href>.
