I like Helix, but I also like the Particles features Gantry offer that Helix do not offer, so I am currently building 2 sites, one helix the other Gantry, however both are using SP Page Builder. My assumption is that SPPB should be compatible with other template engines such as Gantry, and for the most part its all working, however when I create a link or button inside SPPB, the link does not work on the front end, does not even reflect there is a link, no hover function or anything.

Any reason you can think that would cause this, surely SPPB isnt locked to use with only helix?
