=Linking Pages=

Creating links between pages is easy in the visual editor. Highlight the text you wish to link and click the "earth" icon in the toolbar to add a new link.


 * It is particularly easy to link to an existing page in the Shroud Science Group wiki. Highlight the text you want to link from. Select the radio button for wiki link and click on the pull down to select an existing page.
 * It is also easy to link to an external website or page with the visual editor. Highlight the text you want to link from. Select the radio button for external link and type in the URL (web address) of a site or page or document. For instance, to link to "[|The 3rd International Dallas ConferenceOn the Shroud of Turin]" page at shroud.com, type in: http://shroud.com/dallas3.htm in the space provided.

Alternate method:
In both the visual editor and the plain text editor, you can add a link by enclosing a word in double square brackets. For instance to link to the home page simply enclose the word home with two square brackets. For instance ((home)), but use square brackets instead of parantheses. It is not possible to show this because the square brackets are removed and the link formed, e.g. home

To link to another site, you can type in the url is square brackets followed by a "|" and the link text. For instance ((www.shroudstory.com|Shroud of Turin Story)), which appears as follows: Shroud of Turin Story

You can also make links to other web pages by just typing the url, for example: http://www.shroud2000.com/. This is not particularly useful to readers of the site except in certain context.
