Using Oncourse, how do I add a link to my wiki page?
On this page:
Link to another wiki page
While editing a wiki page, to add a link to another page in your
site's wiki, type the name of that page enclosed by square brackets
(e.g., [Page 2]). For more information about editing wiki
pages, see Editing wiki pages.
If the page to which you're linking does not exist, Wiki will
create it automatically. The link to it on the page you're editing
will display with a question mark (?) after it. For more
information, see Adding a page to your site's wiki.
Link to an item in Resources
To add a link to an item in your Resources area:
- While editing your page, place your cursor where you want the link
to appear, and then click the
Linkicon at the top of the text box.
- On the Select Item screen, find the Resources item to which you
want to link. Click
Show other sitesto find an item from another site you own.
- Next to the item, click
Select. Your item should now be listed under "Items to attach". You may select more files, or if you're finished, clickContinue.
Link to an external web page
To add a link to an external web page, you have two options:
- If you want the page to display the URL, simply type the URL, and
Wiki will automatically create a web link to that page.
- If you want the page to display the name of the web page instead of
the URL, modify the following example link so that it points to the page
you want:
{link:Link Name|http://www.google.com}
Change
Link Nameto the name of the web page, and replace the Google URL with the URL of the page to which you're linking.
Note: If the URL for the page to which you're
linking contains an ampersand (&), replace the
ampersand with a semicolon (;). If the URL contains
the escape sequence for the ampersand (&),
replace the entire sequence (&) with a semicolon
(;).
Links to external web pages will display with an arrow icon next to them.
