Links
In order to link another page within a Wiki you do not have to indicate its complete URL (http://...). You only have to put the pages's title in brackets [[Text]]. It is also possible to create a link to any page by means of the button Insert link . In order to do this you have to select the respective page first.
[[Internal link]] | Internal link
[[Link | Text]] | Text
An external address will automatically be turned into a link by indicating its complete address: http://www.olat.org. If you do not want to use a link but a term you have to put the URL along with the term in brackets, separated by a blank.
