I've got a slideshow on the home page of an HTML5 project.
The slides (essentially icons) link to pages in the project.
I'm having trouble making the slide titles under the icons link to the pages.
Can someone tell me how to tag it to get it to work? I didn't think it would be tricky to make the text a link but here I am. I've tried a bunch of things and get document is not valid errors.
Here's a portion of the code.
<MadCap:slide title="The Title">
<p><a href="AV/AV_list.htm"><img src="Resources/Images/TheIcon.svg" alt="" class="Slideshow" /></a>
</p>
</MadCap:slide>
Slideshow how to link the titles to a page
Re: Slideshow how to link the titles to a page
Unfortunately, I can't see how you could change that, as Flare generates the HTML for that caption/title in the output.
It takes the title="The Title"from the source and uses it to build a div in the output:

<div class="mc-caption">
<div>The Title</div>

Thanks for trying to help!
I was looking at it more last night and the slideshow editor and the Caption fill-in can be used to adjust that field.
It does allow using system variables there. IDK if there is a way to make it allow them to be linked.
We are switching to more "graceful" icons and I now have multiple people now wanting to click the text instead of the icon. UGH.

Re: Slideshow how to link the titles to a page
Using a variable wouldn't make a difference, as you're just inserting text from a variable - it's still not going to be generated as a link.
Why not just add your caption (and any links) in the body of the slide itself?

Can you give any guidance on how to do that?

Re: Slideshow how to link the titles to a page
I got an answer from MadcCap. It involved recreating the slideshow. Seems that the interface for creating the slideshow has changed in the multiple years since I created it so the code is quite different.
I'm redoing the slideshow and here's the scoop. Once I recreated the slideshow using Insert >Slideshow, I could edit and format and link to the text in the slideshow.
"You can insert a hyperlink into the caption within the slideshow via the insert ribbon as you can see here (attachment)."
