Is it possible to make a link out of a word, or group of words in the editor? 

For example, I'm trying to make a menu and I don't want the links to be at the bottom, I want them to be in the middle:

START: goes to start page

EXIT: goes to leave and comment page thing.

You could manually link them with HTML, but it's an odd link to add on text. I'll go grab an example.

Edit:: Went to a random storygame.

Of course, this is in the dev console - so it won't look like this to you. Just write <a onclick href etc='complicated link shown in picture'>CLICKABLE LINK TEXT<a>

Here's a quick gif I made of an example of changing the link to go to another page (again, in the dev console - it won't look like colored code to you in the editor). Be sure if you're using the rich text editor that you use the "source" button in order to insert HTML links and code onto the page.

This thread belongs in the advanced editor forum imo.

  I'm sorry I'm an idiot, but I'm gonna need a better explanation, or a step-by-step. I think I understand what you're telling me, but I don't understand HTML at all. 

I think I figured it out. I go to the dev console and mess around by putting in that code (I think I put it in the right spot...), but when I press save and close the window, it there is no link, yet the text stays.

I don't know if this video might help you. Make sure to save while still in the source editor, or it'll remove the link.

I do agree that this should be in the Advanced Editor Forum.
