Writing hyperlinks

Writing hyperlinks is as easy as writing 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 like this:

<http://www.lego.com/>

or, if you want to add a link label, include it before the closing angle bracket like this:

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

These display as http://www.lego.com/ and The Official LEGO World Wide Web Site, respectively.

Linking to pages on LUGNET

To make hyperlinks to pages on www.lugnet.com, simply enclose the partial URL (that is, without the http:// part) in angle brackets like this:

</castle/>

Or include a link label like this:

</castle/ Castle lovers click here!>

These display as /castle/ and Castle lovers click here!, respectively.

Linking to your own pages

To make hyperlinks to your own pages that you create, simply enclose a page’s URL in angle brackets, for example:

</~1234/>

</~1234/CurrentProjects>

As in HTML, write your URLs so that they are relative to the page you are currently on. For example, if you are:

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>`

(But if you don’t see a shorter way to write a URL, you can always simply use the longer version. The point is that you don’t always have to write full URLs.)
