===== Links =====

DokuWiki supports multiple ways of creating links.

==== External ====

External links are recognized automagically: http://www.google.com or simply www.google.com - You can set the link text as well: [[http://www.google.com|This Link points to google]]. Email addresses like this one: <andi@splitbrain.org> are recognized, too.

==== Internal ====

Internal links are created by using square brackets. You can either just give a **pagename** or use an additional **ink text**.


Wiki pagenames are converted to lowercase automatically, special characters are not allowed.


For details about namespaces see [[:wiki:samples:namespaces]].

Linking to a specific section is possible, too. Just add the section name behind a hash character as known from HTML. This links to [[wiki:samples:links#internal|this Section]].

  This links to [[wiki:samples:links#internal|this Section]].

Notes:

  * Links to existing pages are shown in a different style from nonexisting] ones.
 
  * When a section's heading is changed, its bookmark changes, too. So don't rely on section linking too much.

=== colored internal links ===

syntax :\\
linkcolor :XXX or XXXXXX  HEX-Values\\
hovercolor:XXX or XXXXXX  HEX-Values\\


<WRAP half column>

<code>
[[:#linkcolor#link|Description]]
</code>
</WRAP>

DokuWiki supports [[doku>Interwiki]] links. These are quick links to other Wikis. For example this is a link to Wikipedia's page about Wikis: [[wp>Wiki]].

==== Windows Shares ====

Windows shares like [[\\server\share|this]] are recognized, too. Please note that these only make sense in a homogeneous user group like a corporate [[wp>Intranet]].

  Windows Shares like [[\\server\share|this]] are recognized, too.

Notes:

  * For security reasons direct browsing of windows shares only works in Microsoft Internet Explorer per default (and only in the "local zone").
  * For Mozilla and Firefox it can be enabled through different workaround mentioned in the [[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work|Mozilla Knowledge Base]]. However, there will still be a JavaScript warning about trying to open a Windows Share. To remove this warning (for all users), put the following line in ''conf/userscript.js'':

  LANG.nosmblinks = '';
