Whenever a link is typed in the RTE editor, it will automatically be enclosed in an tag and converted to a link. Is there a way to stop this behavior, other than removing each link manually?
I'm not that much of an expert, but I tried to use the "minimal.yaml" configuration for the RTE editor, and It basically done what I wanted since the minimal setting doesn't have the linking option at all, but I need all the other options that are not available in the minimal, and I need the option to create a link manually when needed, just not automatically.
You need to add a custom configuration file for the RTE. Follow this guide to do so : https://usetypo3.com/ckeditor.html
After that, in the removePlugins section, add - autolinking like this :
# Load default processing options
imports:
...
editor:
config:
...
removePlugins:
- autolinking
