Hyperlinks  

• The simplest hyperlink is a WikiWord created by StringingWordsTogether. See also: CamelCase or BumpyText

• To create a hyperlink that is not a WikiWord, enclose the text in [square brackets].

• You can prevent a bad WikiWord being formed or show a plural form with square brackets:
• Bad[WikiWord], Plural [WikiWord]s, This[BumpyText]Rules
• BadWikiWord, Plural WikiWords, ThisBumpyTextRules

• Valid internet addresses beginning with 'http://', 'file://', 'ftp://' ... will be made into a hyperlink automatically (like http://www.atamadison.com)

• To give a nicer title to a hyperlink
1. Surround with square brackets and separate with the pipe character ( | )
• [Taekwondo | http://www.atamadison.com]
• Taekwondo
2. Surround with square brackets and use quotes around the title
• ["Flashcard Maker" http://www.kitzkikz.com/flashcards/]
• Flashcard Maker
3. WikiWords can be given a different name the same way
• ["Different Name" BumpyText]
• Different Name

• To prevent a WikiLikeWord, http://type.address, or anything inside [square brackets] from becoming a hyperlink, then prepend with an exclamation mark or a tilde:
• !NoHyperLink, ~NoHyperLink
• ![no hyperlink], !http://nolink.org/

• See HyperLink

Pictures  

• Include an image into a page by enclosing its absolute web address in square brackets: [http://www.example.com/pics/image.png]
• The referenced file name must end with one of: .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif
• To provide a link to an image, without showing the image, omit the square brackets:

Horizontal Separators
