Feature proposal: linking ingredients & links in directions

You can add HTML links in both:

<a href="https://google.com">Link Text</a>

Great! Thanks for that hint.

Is it possible to add a link to the excerpts section of the recipe? Or to lay out the content (as in paragraphs)? It seems every time I try, the plugin removes it.

The excerpt only allows for plain text. You can add links to the main recipe content template if you need to. ??
