How to make hyperlinks

To pages within a Group: To create a link, surround the text to be converted into a link with backticks and use an underscore after the text name of the link: _

For instance, to link to a page called Meeting Minutes, type this: `Meeting Minutes`_ to get this: Meeting Minutes

note:	The backtick is the symbol that shares the same key as the tilda (~) on US keyboards.

To pages in a different Group or to pages outside the tool:

Typing this:

Here is a link to `my home page`_. Please come and visit.

.. _`my home page`: http://www.omidyar.net/

Will get you this:

Here is a link to my home page. Please come and visit.

Complete details on how to create hyperlinks can be found on the Hyperlinks help page.
