Adding links to external documents

Bob Yantosca edited this page Jun 22, 2022 · 5 revisions

This wiki uses Github Markdown syntax, which is a simple text-based markup. It is the same markup that you use when submitting new Github issues.

Hyperlink syntax

To add a link to an external document, use this syntax:

[Text to be displayed goes here](URL goes here)

For example, a hyperlink to the GEOS-Chem website would look like this:

[GEOS-Chem website](http://geos-chem.org)

Adding links to a paragraph

Simply include the hyperlink command within the paragraph that you are writing, e.g.

I am the very model of a modern [Major General](https://major-general.org).

Creating lists of links

Bullet lists

Each indentation level of a bullet list starts 2 spaces, followed by the - character, and then another space.

  - [Text 1 goes here](URL 1 goes here)
  - [Text 2 goes here](URL 2 goes here)
  - [Text 3 goes here](URL 3 goes here)
    - [Text 4 goes here](URL 4 goes here)

  ... etc ... 

Ordered lists

Each indentation level of an ordered list starts 2 spaces, followed by a number, and then another space.

  1. [Text 1 goes here](URL 1 goes here)
  2. [Text 2 goes here](URL 2 goes here)
  3. [Text 3 goes here](URL 3 goes here)
    a. [Text 4 goes here](URL 4 goes here)

  ... etc ... 

Adding links to other Harvard-ACMG wiki pages
