Template:Links



Formatting links
There are a few ways to create links to external web sites in the wiki.

Descriptive option for use in text
The best type of link for most situations includes a description of the linked site. This description appears as the title of the link e.g. Useful Web Site. To create a link like this just type a link and the description, separated by a space and enclosed in single square brackets:  Useful Web Site . This will create a link to the Useful Web Site that appears like this: Useful Web Site and should be used in conjunction with the full citation in literature cited.

Footnote format
Enclosing the link in single square brackets without providing a description:   ...will display the link as a number in brackets, like this:. This format looks like a footnote and it should be used in conjunction with numbered full citations in literature cited.

For your citations section
Type in the full URL for the link:  http://www.exelearning.org  The wiki treats this text as a link like this: http://www.exe.learning.org and will display full web address. Use this format in your citations section so that users can work from a printout if needs be; avoid using this format in the main text of your lesson.
