Rolling from handouts not working

Edited 1719533226
I've been following instructions from the below two pages on how to create handout links that execute actions: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5691962/rolling-from-handouts" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5691962/rolling-from-handouts</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3090208/rolling-from-handhout-button/?pageforid=3093382#post-3093382" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3090208/rolling-from-handhout-button/?pageforid=3093382#post-3093382</a> Below, I attempted to test this capability: ...but when i click the link, absolutely nothing happens. Can anybody advise?

Hi Stephen! Commands in handout links need to be preceded by a back tick character: `!&amp;#13; This is a test
Thank you for responding Keith! I tried adding the backtick (and also tried deleting the link and starting a fresh one as per what I read in the forum posts), but I got the same result. when I mouse over the link, this is what it shows:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/editor/%60%20!&amp;#13;%20This%20is%20a%20test" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/editor/%60%20!&amp;#13;%20This%20is%20a%20test</a> Not sure if that is what is expected? Are there any gotchas with the link URL like whitespacing and such?

Ah, I think I see what you are trying to do. Sorry, I responded without verifying. Since they added the back tick syntax, the whole thing got a lot easier. For text: `This is my text for a macro: `#Macroname f or an API command: `!APICommand for a roll: `/r 1d6 or &nbsp;`[[1d6]] The bang followed by the html for a linefeed is not needed for a Journal Command Button . Sorry for the misdirect.
Aha! It appears the info I had been following at the start was outdated. Thanks for the clarification, cheers.
