I came across this issue:
http://drupal.org/node/214194

It dicusses HTML in the title field for the link from what I can make out of it. I've tried to scan the code which came out as a result of the issue to try and figure out how to add italic text in parts of my link titles but I can't figure it out.

I've enabled 'Allow user-entered tokens' and I've tried with both regular HTML and token style tags.

<i>Title starts here</i> and countinues here.
[i]Title starts here[/i] and countinues here.

None of them seem to work and I assume I'm doing things wrong.

I'm also curious if it is possible to change the title field's type from textfield to textarea without modifying the code. If not, would such a patch be welcome? I could sort one out if you think it is a good idea.

Issue tags: +link module title text field

Due to the mass of repeating feature requests regarding the additional title field, the title field teeters on the brink. Since even I - as one of the maintainers of the module - don't use the title field, I would like to provide some info here about how Drupal works and how you can reach your goal:

use the link field for its main purpose and fill the link field with a link
use the text field for its main purpose and fill it with text
call it link title if you want
combine them both to a field group (even for multiple values) with the module field collection.

And e viola, here is your link field with a title which supports all the features, which are combinable with text fields like, tokens, html markup, translation and many more. You can even have 20 titles if you want. Or one title for 5 links? It's up to you ... if you understand how Drupals building blocks work.
