Visualforce: Textarea remove Hyperlink

Hi there,

the apex:column component is calling a text area field. Is there a way to remove the hyperlinks or at least change the color of the links ? 
Thanks for your help guys. 

Greetings Sandra

Hi Sandra,

You can achive this by  escape="false" attribute. Please find the code below. There is a field "textArea__c"on contact object which had some url and when you run this page you'll see the result.
  
<!-- For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page
with a valid account record in the URL.
For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the account ID, the resulting URL should be:
https://Salesforce_instance/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53
See the Visualforce Developer's Guide Quick Start Tutorial for more information. -->

<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:pageBlock title="My Content">
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!account.Contacts}" var="item">
            <apex:column value="{!item.name}"/>
            <apex:column value="{!item.phone}"/>
            <apex:column />
            <apex:column >
               <apex:facet name="header">URL</apex:facet>
                       <apex:outputText value="{!item.textArea__c}" escape="false"/>
             </apex:column>

        </apex:pageBlockTable>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
