Help:Links
From QNFellows
You cannot use HTML anchor tags to create hyperlinks, but you don't need to. In fact, just typing a URL will make it an active external link in the text. For example: http://www.cern.ch produces a link to CERN.
There are two general types of links, internal links to an article (page) in this wiki, or external links to some other web site.
[edit] Internal Links
Internal links are links to an article or section in an article in the same wiki:
| Link type | You type: | You get: |
| Internal link | ...this leads to the need for a [[Cosmic Ray Detector]] | ...this leads to the need for a Cosmic Ray Detector |
| Internal link with alternate link text | ...which leads to the need for a [[Cosmic Ray Detector|CRD]] | ...this leads to the need for a CRD |
| Link to section of an article | ...as described in [[Help:Formatting#Code Examples|the "code examples" section of the "Formatting" help page]] | ...as described in the "code examples" section of the "Formatting" help page |
[edit] External Links
External links are links to some other web site:
| Link type | You type: | You get: |
| URL | ...may be found at http://www.cern.ch | ...may be found at http://www.cern.ch |
| External link, unnamed | ...has recently been demonstrated by the QuarkNet[http://quarknet.fnal.gov] project. | ...has recently been demonstrated by the QuarkNet[1] project. |
| External link, named | ...as explained in the [http://www.nytimes.com New York Times] | ...as explained in the New York Times |
