Y'all use those hyperlink (?) things all of the time. What have I been missing?

Another addition I would like to to be able to put hyperlinks in that reference text further down in the article I am posting. I'd like to use those for the foot notes.

The way to create hyperlinked text is to write the text, then select it and click the Insert a Hyperlink button. The link you then add will be linked to by the selected text.

As for the in-page links, a quick look shows that this is a simple HTML tag, so let's make an attempt 3.

 

Junk text.

 

More junk text.

 

And even more.

This is a footnote

OK, it seems to work, but this is more complicated, because you have to edit the HTML code manually. Also, it looks like it will always open in a new page.

Are you still interested in doing this?

Thank you tst,

I was missing the selecet the text part of "write the text, then select it and click the Insert a Hyperlink button"

For the time being concider my request for foot noting to be a forum change request.

Your note on how to use the hyperlink button will already save me a lot of work. I was hacking through the HTML stuff after cutting and pating from one of your threads.

Ben: The tricks pointed out so far will let you insert hyperlinks and pictures.
But if you want other elements...

... such as a table ...

you can click "Edit as HTML" and then use all the HTML tags that you want to format.
  1. Such
  2. as
  3. a list that
  4. uses
  5. Roman numerals.
The easiest way to do this is to use your favorite web page editor to write your post, then view the page source (the raw HTML) and copy paste everything between the <Body> and </Body> tags into your message.

Use "Preview Post" because there are some tags that don't work. And for images you do still have to do the two step process of upload the images and then go in and put the URLs into your HTML.

Is there a list of allowed HTML tags somewhere? Most forum code does some filtering to prevent embedding of malicious code, etc.
