sorry i was unsure weather to post here or in developement
i assumed dev was more of a gameplay thing so im writing here

anyway this is about WIKI and html
in perticulat the anchor command

i assume as its not in the list at http://taspring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Help:Editing that the command is dissabled.. why?

i realise that there is a link function in the bar but im not sure how it works.. could someone tell me how i would convert
< a href="http://lassie.student.utwente.nl/vliet/springclans.txt", title="Zenka's list =p"> here </a> into the code.... unless im typing something wrong in which case i feel very foolish.. =]

this is to link from other pages to the page im creating and also for the pages sprouting out of my page... (for the indevidual clans)

TY all

I think it's this: [http://lassie.student.utwente.nl/vliet/ ... xt|Zenka's list]

It might need two of each bracket for external links though, I don't recall.

... Did you read the line at all? It's not that hard to follow the syntax... the text after the pipe ( | ) is displayed as the link text.

| is for internal linking, external (http) links need a space

click [http://www.yahoo.com here]! = external
click [[Noobs|here]]! = internal

best way to learn is look at code in the site, example http://taspring.clan-sy.com/w/index.php ... &section=1

Ahh. Why would the syntax be different? o_O

Who knows why it is different. But unless someone feels like going through the PHP of the wiki and changing the relevant codes, then we will be stuck with it. There is probably a good reason for it anyways. And if it was changed, im definatley not going through and changing all the external links to the newe format.

wiki pages can have spaces, external links can't... other then that... yeah... wiki's just freaky
