Code not functioning as intented

A code I added is being accepted and works but only until I open the editor again. The part of code is deleted and it stops functioning.

The anchor tag(bold part of code) is deleted after opening the editor.

Code:

Hello @PrachiModi ...

It sounds like you are finding that some of your HTML is being stripped out of the RCE (Rich Content Editor) after you save your content page in your Canvas course. This is by design...per this Guide:

How do I use the HTML view in the Rich Content Edi... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

In this Guide, please take a look at the link in the first paragraph in the light blue box at the top of the page [it points to this page: Canvas HTML Editor Allowlist - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)].

I hope this helps to answer your question. Sing out if you have other questions related to this...thanks!

Well, it works fine the first time I save it. Only if I open the editor again the part of the code is stripped out.

@PrachiModi -

I played around some with this, and what If found is that if you do not provide text to be displayed on the page for the link to be clicked on, then that link is removed (as you see). What you need is (bold is the missing part):

https://libraryhelp.sfcc.edu/Chat-GPT" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> This is the link text

that should display it. However, for me, when I put all of your code into the editor, I do see the link show up and everything stays in the editor. However, the link does not work - I can't click on it - it is not active. furthermore, other links are no longer active either. That issue seems to be with the paragraph line below your link line. Not sure what that issue is.

edit -

If I do the following,

https://libraryhelp.sfcc.edu/Chat-GPT" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> blank

then I get the link showing up in the left hand corner of the page and it is an active link, but the other links in the resulting display are not active. So the reason the code goes away is no text for the link. the paragraph part seems to cause other issues. good luck

Idea for New Quizzes
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.

Late deduction without an interval
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Language suggestion for groupassignments settings
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
