How to embed a URL or link into text

Why should I embed a URL into text?

Embedding a URL or link into text on your Commonplace website enhances the user experience by creating a smooth and intuitive browsing journey. It allows users to maintain their reading flow without being interrupted by long, unsightly URLs.

This practice also keeps the design clean and professional, improving the overall aesthetic of your content.
