Magic Wiki-Wakka: Adding links

Adding links

1. Adding links to internal pages

Links to internal pages can be added by using WikiNames, [[double-bracket]] forced links or image actions:

Examples of links to an internal page

automatic link:

HomePage

gives: HomePage

forced link (the first part, before the whitespace, is the actual page name in the database; everything after that becomes the link description):

[[HomePage index]]

gives: index

image link (the link parameter points to the linked-to pagename):

{{image link="HomePage" url="images/email.gif" alt="email"}}

gives:

2. Adding links to external URLs

Links to external pages can be added by using (fully-qualified) literal URLs, [[double-bracket]] forced links or image actions:

Examples of links to an external page

automatic link:

http://www.w3.org/XML/

gives: http://www.w3.org/XML/∞

forced link (the first part, before the whitespace, is a fully-qualified URL; everything after that becomes the link description):

[[http://www.w3.org/XML/ Extensible Markup Language]]

gives: Extensible Markup Language∞

interwiki link:

[[Google:WikkaWiki]]

gives: http://www.google.com/search?q=WikkaWiki∞

image link (the link parameter should be a fully-qualified URL):

{{image link="http://www.w3.org/XML/" url="images/xml.png" alt="RSS feed"}}

gives:

∞

Depending on the value of the external_link_tail parameter in the general configuration options, external links∞ can be differentiated by internal links by a specific tail (_∞)appended to the link. Further differences between internal and external links are controlled by the Wikka CSS stylesheets.
