1. Select the text you want to link or just place the cursor where you want the link to be.
2. Click the New tab 🔗 button.
3. If you didn't select any text, enter some text for the link. This will be the text that is displayed.
4. Enter the URL you want to link to.
5. Click Submit.
6. The link will be added to the richtext editor.
7. Save the page.

Correct way to render the link in your template:

{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{{ page.body|richtext }}
