We are using Matrix as an intranet. Some of our users would like to link directly to documents on their network drives but are finding that the WYSIWYG editor is stripping out part of the link to the document.
Links begin with <a href="file://\\ but the // is being removed. We are aware that this can be controlled using raw html or redirect assets but is there another way to do this as most of our users are not comfortable with html and prefer using the WYSIWYG editor?
I suspect HTML Tidy will not allow file://\\ style URLs as they're not technically valid. You may need to submit a feature request for this.

Thanks Avi. Actually HTML tidy is not enabled but I’m guessing there isn’t a way using the WYSIWYG editor?
Is anyone else out there using Matrix as an intranet? If so, have you come across this issue and how have you dealt with it?

Its probalby somewhat iffy practice to create file://\\ style links as they would probably only ever work on certain versions of Windows. Other Intranets we support would upload authorative versions of documents as assets into Matrix itself.
