I’m using markdown in my app.

I’m using this syntax in Google Sheet:  
`[Prospertality](https://prospertality.com.au)`

In the Glide Data editor, it renders correctly as an underlined and clickable link, however in the ‘front-end’ of the app it renders as `[Prospertality](https://prospertality.com.au)`

Is there anything obvious I’m missing?

Thanks in advance, David

Are you using a Rich Text component?

Thanks Jeff!

It was a regular text field but pulling data from a column with the Markdown symbol which threw me!
