Using Hyperlinks in HiFAQ
 
Web addresses of the form www.anaddress.com and email addresses of the form somename@anaddress.co.uk will be converted automatically to hyperlinks.
Where a web address does not contain www then 'http://' must precede it.
E.g. ir.diageo.com will not be converted to a hyperlink but http://ir.diageo.com will be.
Besides 'http://' the protocols 'https://' and 'ftp://' are recognised.
To provide a linked address behind a different label, the label required should be enclosed in double triangular brackets - << >> (Greater than & less than signs)
www.hibyte.co.uk<<Hibyte's Website>> will produce a link of the form Hibyte's Website
simon@hibyte.co.uk<<Email Simon>> will produce a link of the form Email Simon
To open a link in a new window, specify the target like this: target:_blank in single triangular brackets.
www.hibyte.co.uk<<Hibyte's Website>><target:_blank> produces a link of the form Hibyte's Website opening in a new window.
