... but they should still work in a [link] tag.

For example...

[div style="margin-left: 2em; color:#000099;"][link:https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2012-speeches-testimony/in-q-tel-summit-remarks.html|your text here]
... should give you ...

[div style="margin-left: 2em;"]your text here

Or to get fancy you can use the text for the link in the link tag by replacing the first colon with : like this...

[div style="margin-left: 2em; color:#000099;"][link:https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2012-speeches-testimony/in-q-tel-summit-remarks.html|https[font style="background-color:#3366cc; color:#cccccc;"]:[/font]//www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2012-speeches-testimony/in-q-tel-summit-remarks.html]
.. to give you...

[div style="margin-left: 2em;"]https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2012-speeches-testimony/in-q-tel-summit-remarks.html

Which is basically a more detailed explanation of this issue mentioned in my post about all the the problems with links.
