Adding Links in your Pages
Adding Links to Page in Our Site
If you want to add a link to pages in the site, using the "Structured Text" mode (using HTML, you use the standard syntax) follow the steps below. Remember, in our site, pages don't end with any ".html" or anything. Our pages aren't files, they are pages in a database, so the name of the page is the key thing.
To make a link from a page to a page in the same folder, the syntax is:
"Link-text the user reads":http:name-of-other-page
And that's it! Your link will be made.
If the link is to a page in a folder OTHER than the page you are writing, you need to include a path to it. The easiest way is to view the target page in another browser window and then look at the URL. You want to include the part after the site address (so if the URL is "http://redwall.muck.limitless.org/help/howto/add_links" you would want "/help/howto/add_links" ). That's the part that goes after the "http" indicator as follows:
"Link text the user reads":http:/help/howto/add_links
You can have as many links as you like.
Adding Links to Page Outside Our Site
If you want to link to someone outside the site, it's exactly the same as above, only you include the full two-slashes and site-name. For instance, to link to the official Redwall Fan-club at redwall.org, you'd use this:
"Official Redwall Fan Club":http://www.redwall.org
Conclusion
What comes after the ":http:" is where the link goes. With a name, it's in the current folder. With a single-slash, it starts at the begining of our site, and with a double-slash, it goes off-site.
