 Short RGBA color codes such as ``#6f28`` (equivalent to ``#66ff2288``) are also supported.

+
+Handling ``[url]`` tag clicks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, ``[url]`` tags do nothing when clicked. This is to allow flexible use
+of ``[url]`` tags rather than limiting them to opening URLs in a web browser.
+
+To handle clicked ``[url]`` tags, connect the RichTextLabel node's
+:ref:`meta_clicked <class_RichTextLabel_signal_meta_clicked>` signal to a script function.
+
+For example, the following method can be connected to ``meta_clicked`` to open
+clicked URLs using the user's default web browser::
+
+    # This assumes RichTextLabel's `meta_clicked` signal was connected to
+    # the function below using the signal connection dialog.
+    func _richtextlabel_on_meta_clicked(meta):
+        # `meta` is not guaranteed to be a String, so convert it to a String
+        # to avoid script errors at run-time.
+        OS.shell_open(str(meta))
+
+For more advanced use cases, it's also possible to store JSON in an ``[url]``
+tag's option and parse it in the function that handles the ``meta_clicked`` signal.
+For example: ``[url={"example": "value"}]JSON[/url]``
