Hypertext Links

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.

Shorthand for URLs

If the text to be linked is a valid 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#}

The word "anchor" is an anchor on this page.

A Note on Email

As a convenience, MTX will automatically preface Internet email links with "mailto:" in the output HTML file. This means that you can use the shorthand {#rrathe@dean.med.ufl.edu##} instead of {#rrathe@dean.med.ufl.edu#mailto:rrathe@dean.med.ufl.edu#}.
