title: Create URL hyperlink in R Shiny?
body: <p>My code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>library(shiny)
  runApp(
    list(ui = fluidPage(
       uiOutput("tab")
      ),
    server = function(input, output, session){
      url &lt;- a("Google Homepage", href="https://www.google.com/")
      output$tab &lt;- renderUI({
        paste("URL link:", url)
      })
    })
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Current output:</p>
  
  <p><code>URL link: &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/"&gt;Google Homepage&lt;/a&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>Desired output:</p>
  
  <p><code>URL link: Google Homepage</code></p>
  
  <p>where <code>Google Homepage</code> is a clickable hyperlink.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using the <code>renderUI</code>/<code>uiOutput</code> duo as instructed here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25818416/how-to-create-a-hyperlink-interactively-in-shiny-app">how to create a hyperlink interactively in shiny app?</a> </p>
