Hello @ehsdappdev,
By default, HTML does not allow nesting an <a> tag inside another <a> tag. Cornerstone’s Link option wraps the entire element in <a href="...">...</a>; if you then unintentionally add another link inside that same Headline’s content, you end up with an anchor nested inside an anchor, which breaks the element’s output. This is not a caching or CSS problem — it’s a browser HTML-parsing issue. When the browser’s parser hits the invalid nesting, it repairs it on the fly by closing the outer <a> early and re-opening a new copy of it (same href/class) after every subsequent element boundary. That’s why your output shows the same href duplicated across three empty <a> tags at each nesting level, and why the inner text gets split into separate linked fragments that are left outside any link. The wrapper classes that the compiled TSS styling targets no longer sit on a single intact element, so the styling and positioning are lost.
As a workaround until this is addressed at the builder level: don’t combine the element’s Link option with an inline link inside the same element’s Rich Text content. Move the inner link to a separate text element outside the linked wrapper, or drop the outer Link option and link only the specific text runs you need.
Best Regards.
