    When I create hyperlinks, can I just use the regular HTML code, such as Sample Page

    Or do I have to add other ID and title tags, such as
    Sample Page

    I haven’t been doing the latter, but I haven’t noticed any problem with the display.

  • Ummm, unless you own sample.com, those links aren’t really showing anything.

    If you redo that with the code in “backticks”[1][2], we’ll be able to see what you mean.

    [1] On my (UK) keyboard, that’s to the left of 1 and above Tab. I think it may be in the vicinity of ~ on other layouts.
    [2] And I still think asking people to mark code with a key most people haven’t heard of isn’t the best idea…

    To answer the question, yes, the former is fine (and still considered valid) for old fashioned text links.

    On LB’s [2]: A partial agreement, but on a board where people are constantly posting code fragments, you try to come up with a little-used key that can act as a raw code marker.

    The word “code” in square brackets would be more readily understandable by people in general.

    Or maybe just moving the instructions above the post textarea?

    Oops, I didn’t realize that my html code would be converted into the real thing. I meant to write [a href=”sample.com”]Sample [/a]

    Thanks for your response.
