Oracle APEX - hyperlink shown as text on a static region

Question

I have a static region and I want to set it to some text with a hyperlink. Text comes from the database - returned by a function.

So I added a page item (P1_LINK_TEXT) to the page and added a computation to my page item that is set to PL/SQL expression:

MyFunction('MY_TEXT')

The region Header Text to &P1_LINK_TEXT.

It works great, except the hyperlink displayed as is - Click <a href="www.test.com">here</a> instead of displaying the link. I made sure that Attributes->Settings->Output As is set to HTML but still, the hyperlink is not displayed correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Use the escape filter to ensure html characters are not escaped. To display the item as html use this notation:

&P1_LINK_TEXT!RAW.
