You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter [[WikiWords]].

To copy a fully marked-up page, simply view source in your browser and save the contents. - * %T% If you need to save HTML frequently, you may want to check out TWiki:Plugins/GenHTMLAddon - it will "generate a directory containing rendered versions of a set of TWiki pages together with any attached files." -* %X% **NOTE:** The opening and closing angle brackets - <code>**<...>**</code> - of an HTML tag **_must be on the same line_**, or the tag will be broken. - * This feature allows you to enter an unclosed angle bracket - as a greater than or less than symbol - and have it automatically rendered as if you had entered its HTML character, `<`, ex: <code>**a > b**</code> - * %T% If you're pasting in preformatted HTML text and notice problems, check the file in a text processor with no text wrap. Also, save without hard line breaks on text wrap, in your HTML editing program. - -## <a name="Hyperlinks"> Hyperlinks </a> - -Being able to create links without any formatting required is a core TWiki feature, made possible with [[WikiWords]]. New TWiki linking rules are a simple extension of the syntax that provide a new set of flexible options. - -### <a name="Internal_Links"> Internal Links </a> - -* [[GoodStyle]] is a [[WikiWord]] that links to the GoodStyle topic located in the current %WIKITOOLNAME% web. - -* [[NotExistingYet]] is a topic waiting to be written.

(Try clicking, but then, **Cancel** - creating the topic would wreck this example!) - -### <a name="External_Links"> External Links </a> - -* `http://...`, `https://...`, `ftp://...` and `mailto:...@...` are linked automatically. - -* Email addresses like `name@domain.com` are linked automatically. - -* <code>[[Square bracket rules]]</code> let you easily create non-WikiWord links. - -## <a name="TWikiPlugin_Formatting_Extension"> TWikiPlugin Formatting Extensions </a> - -Plugins provide additional text formatting capabilities and can extend the functionality of %WIKITOOLNAME% into many other areas.
