How to transform plain text URL into html hyperlink?

Question

for example I want to be able to change www.sololearn.com into <a href="www.sololearn.com" />.

Answer 1

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're not wanting to display the link, but simply want the code itself to be shown?

<pre><a href="sololearn.com">test</a></pre>

For the < and >, use & lt; and & gt; instead. (remove spaces from char code)

<pre> & lt;a href="sololearn.com"& gt; test & lt; /a & gt; </pre>

*EDIT*
I forgot Code Playground was a thing. Here you go. :P

a simple url is always a hyperlink.. there's nothing link html hyperlink..
if u want to write a Html code for your url or hyperlink..
