yogivishnu Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I wonder if someone could tell me how e-mails or even posts on this forum and others carry hyper texted links.Is this part of web page creation ? When I copy links thru right clicked context menus , the links do get copied but are not hyper-texted.I am sure that with nearly every member around seeming to do this with great facility , my question may be thought to be a foolish one but only thing i can say is that I have no one else to turn to and may be excused as being a newbie. :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 As for putting links into a board such as this, you need to use what's known as "BB-Code"Thats this:[url=http://www.example.com]Here is where you put the text to be clicked on[/url]As for email etc, it's HTML, hence:<a href="http://www.example.net">Text to be clicked on</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most clients allow pasting a URL into the body text, and will automatically recognize and format it as a link.When the message is HTML, most clients also allow Insert -> Hyperlink.

yogivishnu Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi Pwillener / Scuzzman ,Do you really mean to say that one has to learn coding etc in order to copy hypertexted links and maybe convey some of the interesting ones to the forum members.is there not some short-cut method or some programme for the purpose.Is the BB-CODE usable only on this forum and where else.What are some of the other common codes in use.If it is difficult to give inf as these in the forum , I shall be delighted if someone could point me to some basic tutorial on this which may render practical help to newbies like myself.

Tony Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 When you want to post with a Hyper Text Link, click the http:// button above the box you type in, and then just fill in the details it needs in to box that pops up.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzman Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 BBcode is useful on most PHP-based Bulletin Boards(forums)There is a very good tutorial on it here: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/faq.php?mode=bbcode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
