 * Hi,
 * I am using Airpress with Virtual Fields. Really a great plugin.
 * I would like to pass mail address (john@doe.com) and URL (doe.com) from airtable
   fields via shortcode to get the following results on my page:
 * `<a href="mailto:john@doe.com">john@doe.com</a>`
 * `<a href="https://doe.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://doe.
   com</a>`
 * I tried and could not find a solution.
 * I would appreciate, if someone knows how to do it.
 * Thanks in advance, Georg

 * **Here’s the straight-forward way using a Airtable field of type ‘URL’ with a
   value of [http://google.com](http://google.com):**
    `<a href='[apr field="My 
   URL Field"]' target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">[apr field="My URL Field"]
   </a>`
 * Here’s the markdown way using an Airtable field of type ‘Single line text’ with
   a value of [Checkout Airpress]([http://wordpress.org/plugins/airpress](http://wordpress.org/plugins/airpress)):
   `[
   apr field="My URL Field" format="parsedown|text"]`
 * See [http://parsedown.org/tests/inline_link](http://parsedown.org/tests/inline_link)
   for more markdown formats
