Research direction

Start by locating the web calendar code that renders event descriptions and inspect how the current plain-text route links are displayed. Implement hyperlinking for ridewithgps.com links, then verify on the calendar page that those links are clickable without breaking other description text.

Description

As a user, I want to see route links hyperlinked on the web calendar. Currently it just displays it as text.

There are a couple of ways to accomplish this:

  1. maintain an allow-list of domains which we will allow links (to avoid spam)
  2. create a rich text input with markdown allowing folks to also add formatting to their text

Acceptance means ridewithgps.com links will be hyperlinked on the calendar page.
