# '''External Link''': Examples of external links include any link to | # '''External Link''': Examples of external links include any link to another website, or even a PDF or DOC file from somewhere online. Cases on CanLII, for instance, will be referenced by an external link. The simplest way to insert an external link is to just type the full URL, including the <tt>http://</tt> prefix. Typing "<tt>For more information on the Court of Appeal process, visit <nowiki>http://www.courtofappealbc.ca</nowiki></tt>" into the edit screen and hitting "Save page" will show up as this: "For more information on the Court of Appeal process, visit the Court of Appeal BC Online Help Guide at http://www.courtofappealbc.ca". But most of the time, you will want the link to appear as the name of the resource itself underlined. Click button #4 and you will see <tt><nowiki>[http://www.example.com link title]</nowiki></tt>. Replace <tt>www.example.com</tt> and insert the URL you want to send readers to, <tt>www.courtofappealbc.ca</tt>. Now replace <tt>link title</tt> with the words you want your link to read as, for example <tt>Court of Appeal BC Online Help Guide</tt>. The proper external link should appear in the edit screen as "<tt>For more information on the Court of Appeal process, visit the <nowiki>[http://www.courtofappealbc.ca Court of Appeal BC Online Help Guide]</nowiki></tt>". Save the page. This text should appear as "For more information on the Court of Appeal process, visit the [http://www.courtofappealbc.ca Court of Appeal BC Online Help Guide]". | ||
