How to make hyperlinks
To pages within a Group: To create a link, surround the text to be converted into a link with backticks and use an underscore after the text name of the link: _
For instance, to link to a page called Meeting Minutes, type this: `Meeting Minutes`_ to get this: Meeting Minutes
note: The backtick is the symbol that shares the same key as the tilda (~) on US keyboards.
To pages in a different Group or to pages outside the tool:
Typing this:
Here is a link to `my home page`_. Please come and visit. .. _`my home page`: http://ned.com/Will get you this:
Here is a link to my home page. Please come and visit.Complete details on how to create hyperlinks can be found on the Hyperlinks help page.
