Misleading instructions for the rel attribute [#223782]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the module. Just a minor note on an issue that tripped me up and could be improved.

The instructions for the Rel= attribute are currently:

The most common usage is rel="nofollow" which prevents

So I entered exactly that value in the field, i.e. instead of just typing nofollow, I typed the full tag rel="nofollow", which resulted in my anchors getting the value of rel="rel="nofollow"".

It's the help text that is misleading, perhaps an example of what is acceptable input in the string would help future users of the module? I.e. "Please don't include the rel="" part..."

Thanks,
Mark

How about if we themed the field so that the text field was displayed like this?

Rel Attribute:
rel = [ textfield here ]
When output, this link will have this rel attribute. The most common usage is rel="nofollow" which prevents some search engines from spidering entered links.

That way we wouldn't break translations, and the field would be more clear to match the help text.
