The last way is not correct!

I have found that ONLY the URL (href) has to be coded following RFC 3986.

Therefore is should be coded in a textarea field of the panel like

```php
(link: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angeln_%28Fischfang%29 text: Angeln_&#x28;Fischfang&#x29;)

```

which reders to

```auto
<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angeln_%28Fischfang%29">Angeln_&#x28;Fischfang&#x29;</a>

```

_Hint:_  
Look for the different coding, e.g. “`%28`” and “`&#x28;`” for the “(”.

Good luck!
