2. If you set up a WebEx meeting and send a copy of that link to your
email so that you can cut and paste it into your course, the link can
carry additional html code from the email when you paste the link in
your course as a hyperlink. This is especially true of copying and
pasting hyperlinks from Outlook Webmail accounts. If you do not
check this using the html editor hyperlink icon, you could inadvertently
carry over extra html code directing students back to the email address
and prompting them to log in to Webmail for instance.
The following are examples of not-problematic and problematic html
code for a WebEx link.

Problematic code will reference webmail after
the “a herf” hyperlink prefix, and the “redir”
redirect signifier will be found after the url.
