Hypertext Links

To link a word or phrase using hypertext enclose it in {#...#URL#} where URL is the destination for the link.

  {#link#hyper.mtx#}
  {#link##TEST#}

This is a link to the MTX file for this page.

This is a link to an anchor lower down on this page.

URL Shortcuts

Complete URLs and email addresses are automatically converted to hypertext and linked. If the text to be linked is a relative URL, the second part of the tag may be omitted {#URL##}. This is a convenient shorthand for the redundant {#URL#URL#}.

  {#hyper.mtx##}

This is a link to the file hyper.mtx.

Hypertext Anchors

To link to a specific point in a document enclose it in {#...#=NAME#} where NAME is a unique identifier for the anchor. Note that anchors are case sensitive ("name" does not equal "NAME").

  {#anchor#=TEST#}

This line is an anchor on this page.

A Note on Email

NOTE: LInks to Internet email addresses are handled by "mailto:" URLs. As a convenience, MTX will automatically create these URLs for you. For example, "rrathe@dean.med.ufl.edu" is linked to "mailto:rrathe@dean.med.ufl.edu."
