| Creating a Hyperlink in your message |
|
You can easily add a hyperlink to your message.
All that you need to do is type the URL (http://www.studiolegalespadaro.it/legalforum/), and it will automatically be converted to a URL (http://www.studiolegalespadaro.it/legalforum/)!
The trick here is to make sure you prefix your URL with the http://, https:// or file://
You can also add a mailto link to your message by typing in your e-mail address.
This Example:
studio@studiolegalespadaro.it
Outputs this:
studio@studiolegalespadaro.it
Another way to add hyperlinks is to use the [url]linkto[/url] tags
This Example:
[url]http://www.studiolegalespadaro.it/legalforum/[/url] takes you home!
Outputs This:
http://www.studiolegalespadaro.it/legalforum/ takes you home!
If you use this tag: [url="linkto"]description[/url] you can add a description to the link.
This Example:
Take me to [url="http://www.studiolegalespadaro.it/legalforum/"]Forum Studio Legale Spadaro[/url]
Outputs This:
Take me to Forum Studio Legale Spadaro
This Example:
If you have a question [url="studio@studiolegalespadaro.it"]E-Mail Me[/url]
Outputs This:
If you have a question E-Mail Me
