Re: Squeak SmallWiki prototype - external links

Hi Markus, I checked this site, but I don't understand what you mean with the external link marker? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: How_to_edit_a_page#Links_and_URLs The syntax of SmallWiki 1 [1] allows to alias links, is that what you are interested in? Else there is always the possibility to put raw html into your wiki pages, e.g. the two are equivalent: *Google>http://www.google.com* <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> SmallWiki 2 will have a slightly enhanced syntax for links, e.g. it will support explicit embedding of any internal page, file, ... by putting something like *+Link+*. What is more it provides dynamic links, so one could write *isbn:123456789* and the wiki would automatically generate a link to a pre-configured bookstore. Cheers, Lukas - 1 ---------------------------------------------------------- To create a link, put it between *s. There are three different types of links: Internal Link: If the item exists in the Smallwiki (e.g. *Title of Item*), a link to that item shows up when the page is saved. In case the item does not already exist, the link shows up with a create-button next to it; click on it to create the new item. External Link: If the link is a valid url (e.g. *http://www.google.ch*), a link to that external page shows up. Mail Link: If the link is an email address (e.g. *self(a)mail.me.com*), a link to mail that person shows up, but it is obfuscated to prevent robots from collecting. You can also alias all these links using >. So, you can create a link like this: *Alias>Reference*. The link will show up as Alias, but link to Reference. For images, the alias text will become the alternate text for the image. -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
