As I enter data into a TEXT column in my fusion tables, I find that while I can use html formatting in the text column, the hyperlinks don't display properly in the info balloons.
For example:
<p>See specimen record at Caterpillars
This is read simply as See specimen record at Caterpillers, with the link stripped out.
Is there a way to add hyperlinked text into the database?
Please note: I know it is possible to to add hyperlinked text in the CONFIGURE INFO WINDOW area, but then that link appears for every marker. I want to add different links for different markers.
Thanks!

Rod's answer is correct but I'm guessing you are having a different problem, which is what is the list of columns being displayed by the default infoWindow? You must check the list of columns in the CONFIGURE INFO WINDOW dialog to ensure that your column with the link is checked. I think the default is only the first several columns. Don't worry about formatting the info window just the checkboxes.
Try this:
<p>See specimen record at Caterpillars
This will cause the link to open in a new window or tab rather than taking over the map, and should not get scrubbed from the info window HTML.
One other possible option is to add a column with the links for each info window. Then, when configuring the content of the info windows, use a template like the following:
<p>See specimen record at Caterpillar</p>
Substitute <link_column_name> with the column that contains the links.

I have a 400+ page Google Doc of a poetry anthology, which I want to parse so I can build several reference indices at the end of the doc. I want to extract author names, poem titles, page numbers, and first lines. Each of these is formatted in a unique, consistent way (font size, location on page, spacing, etc.), and it would be easy to parse if I could say "look for this font size" and "read till the new line" and "skip to the next page". I could work with any data structure; I just need to get the doc in its current form into one.
Is there a way to do this? Maybe as a Google Doc or maybe if I download it as a pdf or some other form? Thanks in advance.
I have a Google Sheets file I use to enter data on different properties.
Each row in this file represents a single property.
If a certain property is of interest, I would like generate a report for it.
I need a functionality that will extract all data fields from a single row, and insert them in a new file (google sheets or preferably a Google Docs file) with a pre built format that would present the data nicely like a report.
Thanking you in advance

Here is a very preliminary answer, to see if this is the right direction.
See my sample sheet.
This lets you select, in C3, which address you want a report on. The fields shown in green change as you select a different address. All of the report fields could be modified like this - you just need to point to which column in the Properties database contains the values.
Is this roughly what you were looking to achieve?
I have a Google spreadsheet and autocomplete is only working for the columns I am typing in, meaning if there is word1 in the column I am typing in, and I start to type a word, it will suggest word1, but WILL NEVER suggest word5 from the column next door. I am trying to make autocomplete data shared for all columns and rows.
Example 1-a:
Example 1-b:
See what I mean? I'd like for autocomplete to suggest the word WORRY but it won't. I am trying to share autocomplete data across the entire spreadsheet rather than just to individual column data.
unfortunately, that is not possible to achieve. autocomplete is available only in few cases when in the same column. best you can do is to use Data Validation on the whole sheet (selection) with disabled dropdown menu (for visual) but this can have undesired result in the form of a red arrow in the top right corner of the cell.
I found the answer since this is, from what I hear...not possible.
The linux program ... "TextSuggest".
Easily download and install TextSuggest from the AUR repo.
yay -S textsuggest
It will do exactly as Google Sheets autocomplete feature does, but within your entire Linux system.
If you wish to see/learn more, here is a nice article/review on it.

TextSuggest is the best alternative to the "not possible".
I am looking at extracting some data from a Clarion .TPS file and I have been using the TopScan Application to open them.
When I look at the tables there are lots of hidden fields.
Are they just protected fields i.e. to stop someone from seeing the information or are they something to do with the indexes?
Also would using the ODBC driver reveal what they are?

The first time you open a TPS table using Topscan, it only shows the first few columns (15 I think) and the rest are set as "hidden". This is only a feature of Topscan, not a developer or technical restriction.
To view them, click on the menu Column ยป Show/Hide.... It will show a dialog with all the columns in the table, click the button Select all and OK and all columns will be displayed.
After you close the table, a new file tablename.SCN will be created, it saves the visible/hidden status of the columns and any other changes you make the view (column width, position, picture, etc.)
I have a SharePoint feature which programatically creates 3 lookups in a custom list, one from each of 3 different lists via extremely similar CAML markup.
The only differences in the CAML are the List, ID, Name, DisplayName and StaticName properties yet one of these lookups looks slightly different (has a slightly more "modern" drop-down arrow) than the other two and this same menu requires I double-click in order to select an item instead of single-clicking as I do with the other lookups.
Might anyone have seen this before and have an idea of what I might look into to make this lookup operate as a single-click menu?
The style of dropdown displayed is usually related to the number of items, although it also renders as a standard select element when viewed in firefox.
For any other field type it would make sense to create a custom field control, but due to code that expects things to be named "Lookup", lookup fields are next to impossible to extend.
The best way to customize a specific field is probably with javascript/jquery. When you click on the dropdown arrow, ShowDropdown (in core.js) is called. This creates a select element with options set from the pipe delimited list in the choices attribute of the textbox.
Add some code to the page so that on load EnsureSelect and FilterChoice or similar are called to create the select element. Set properties on the textbox and select elements so that the textbox as hidden and the select element is a visible dropdown. Have SetCtrlFromOpt called on change rather than on blur/double click so that the control that the server will read and save is properly updated.
The same approach could be used to keep the combo box but add a click event to set the value rather than requiring a double click.
How many items has the source list of every lookup field?
Lookup fields shows a "Combo" when the source list has 10 items (I'm not sure if 10 item is the exact limit). When the source list has more than 10 items the lookup field shows a "ListArea" control that works as you said.
I have exactly the same problem. One difference I have noticed is that the one listbox that requires a double-click is a lookup field, whereas the one that doesn't is a choice field with pre-populated choices. Don't know if that helps.
