Hyperlinks

Including hyperlinks in your pages is as easy as enclosing URLs in angle brackets.

Linking to other websites

To make hyperlinks to pages on other websites (that is, other than pages on www.lugnet.com), enclose the complete URL (including the http:// part) in angle brackets, for example:

You write...

Visit <http://www.lego.com/> for more information.

You get...

Visit http://www.lego.com/ for more information.

If you want to use a link label, include it just after the URL, but before the closing angle bracket, for example:

You write...

Visit <http://www.lego.com/ The Official LEGO World Wide Web Site> for more information.

You get...

Visit The Official LEGO World Wide Web Site for more information.

Linking to pages or resources on LUGNET

When linking to your own pages on LUGNET (or other members’ pages), simply enclose page URLs in angle brackets, for example:

</~1234/>

</~1234/CurrentProjects>

As in HTML, write URLs relative to the page or directory in which they reside. For example:

When linking from:	To:	Use this:

`/~1234/foo/`	`/~1234/foo/bar`	`bar`

`/~1234/foo/bar`	`/~1234/foo/zot`	`zot`

`/~1234/foo/zot`	`/~1234/foo/`	`../`

`/~1234/foo/`	`/~1234/gonk/zort`	`../gonk/zort`

`/~1234/foo/`	`/~4321/gonk/`	`/~4321/gonk/`

If you don’t see a way to shorten a URL, don’t worry; the longer version will always work fine.

Linking to E-mail addresses

To make an e-mail address link, prefix it with mailto:, enclose this in angle brackets, and add your link text. For example:

You write...

Please <mailto:me@myisp.com let me know> what you think!

You get...

Please let me know what you think!
