Help: Links

Links can be used to show a new page on the website, show a different website, or send e-mail. The link is placed between a pair of double brackets (ie. [[ ... ]]). Links may be the title of a local webpage, the URL of a remote webpage, or an e-mail address:

PDF Files

PDF files may also be accessed using a link. There are two ways to do it: giving the long URL name (i.e. http//www.foo.org/... etc.) or a short link giving the directory name preceded by "../" (e.g. ../about/foo.pdf).
