Prawn - Links inside table cells

I am trying to generate PDFs with Prawn. Inside my PDF template I have tables with cells. In one of those cells I have an email address:

cell_email = pdf.make_cell(:content => booking.user_email, :border_width => 0)

I want to make email to link to "mailto" link. I know I can link some way like this:

pdf.formatted_text([{:text => booking.user_email, :link => "mailto: #{booking.user_email}"}])

However combining those two lines (giving formatted text as a content) doesn't work:

cell_email = pdf.make_cell(:content => pdf.formatted_text([{:text => booking.user_email, :link => "mailto: #{booking.user_email}"}]), :border_width => 0)

Any ideas how can I overcome this issue (create an email link inside the table cell)?

Kind Regards and Many Thanks!

Solution

You can specify inline_format for the cell and create the link yourself:

cell_email = pdf.make_cell(
  :content => "<link href='mailto:#{booking.user_email}'>#{booking.user_email}</link>",
  :inline_format => true
)

You can specify inline_format for the whole table, too:

table data, :cell_style => { :inline_format => true }

Prawn's inline_format supports , , , <strikethrough>, , , , <color> and <link>.
