title: Create an external URL hyperlink with JasperReports
body: <p>How do you include a hyperlink (URL) in a PDF that links to an external site?</p>
  
  <p>Using a simple string like "<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">http://www.stackoverflow.com</a>", a link is automatically generated. But, how can I use a URL like <code>&lt;a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt;</code>?</p>
  
  <p>If I use this HTML string, Jaspers create a link but also shows the code.</p>
  
  <p>Using JasperReports 4.0.4 and iReport 4.5.1.</p>
