External links
An external link is a standard web link targeting for example a website. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_China_Sea is an external link to a Wikipedia page.
To create a link without a custom text:
- Press
in the Formatting toolbar:- A popup will appear, type or paste the URL in the box.
- Press Enter or the check mark icon to confirm.
- Alternatively, press Ctrl+K to trigger the aforementioned popup.
- A simpler way is to paste the raw link and press space to turn it automatically into a link.
To create a link with a custom text:
- First, type and select the text which will be turned into a link.
- Follow the previous steps to open the link interface (via the formatting toolbar, or Ctrl+K).
- Alternatively, simply paste (Ctrl+V) over the selected text to turn it into a link.
Once a link is inserted:
- The text inside the link can be changed if needed but the link itself will remain.
- To modify the link, click on the link to display the popup and press the
Edit link button. - To remove a link, click on it and press the
Unlink button.
You can follow external link by either double clicking (will open new tab/window) it or right clicking on them and choosing "Open in new tab".
