Emarsys Anomaly in VCE

Issue with Visual Content Editor (VCE) of Emarsys Template

Emarsys is more than an email sending platform. It gives marketing insights based on the transactional data, products recommendation for email and web from predict system, in addition to ESP facilities like Send Time Optimisation, Visual Content Editor programmable sending etc. You can have CRM ads, SMS campaigns and Push notifications.  For VCE, you can build block based templates. Using these templates, one can easily create any number of emails.

This is about an issue I noticed while creating a template. I wanted a button with options to change the text format, text content and text link.
The typical code for this is as follows
<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="300" class="bor">
<tr>
<td align="center" class=""><a e-editable="link_url" href="https://www.mysite.co.uk/"  target="_blank"

class="fc2 fwb tdn"><font e-editable="link_text1" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2 fwb">Link Text</font></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

You use <a e-editable="link_url".. to make the link editable
You use <font e-editable="link_text1".. to make the text editable and formatable
But in reality you can not format the text.
If you remove <a e-editable="link_url".. then the text becomes editable and formatable, but link (url) becomes uneditable.

Tried the following options, but none of them worked well
1.
<td align="center" class=""><a e-editable="link_url" href="https://www.mysite.co.uk/"  target="_blank" class="fc2 fwb tdn"><font e-editable="link_text1" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2
fwb"><span e-editable="link_span" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2 fwb">Link Text</span></font></a></td>

2
<td align="center" class=""><a e-editable="link_url" href="https://www.mysite.co.uk/"  target="_blank" class="fc2 fwb tdn"><font e-editable="link_text1" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2
fwb"><span e-editable="link_span">Link Text</span></font></a></td>

3
<td align="center" class=""><a e-editable="link_url" href="https://www.mysite.co.uk/"  target="_blank" class="fc2 fwb tdn"><span e-editable="link_text1" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2
fwb"><font e-editable="link_font" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2 fwb">Link Text</font></span></a></td>

& the solution is bit tricky. 

The system does not allow to have  <a e-editable="link_url". So just avoid that. You still have formatting and linking options open with this. You won't get the direct linking button as in the following image.


But you get this link button from the formatting menu, and it works.



<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table cellpadding="10 2" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="300" class="bor">
<tr>
<td align="center" class=""><font e-editable="link_text1" class="ff fs18 mfs18 fc2 fwb">Link Text</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>

And this is how it looked like at the end.
