The following piece of code worked fine in Mathematica 11.1:
notesgrid = Text[Grid[{{ Hyperlink["pdf link 1", "notes-1.pdf"]}}]]
Export[FileNameJoin[{NotebookDirectory[], "notes.html"}], notesgrid];
But in 11.2 it fails to produce the hyperlink in the html source code (it doesn't create the <area> tags), though the link does appear in the Mathematica output cell.
Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround (other than going back to 11.1)?
