You can also use the toolbar buttons which appear above the text entry box. If you want to experiment with writing an entry, please do so in the [[sandbox]]. And finally, when you're editing you can always use the "Show preview" button to check how your entry will look, just remember to save your changes once you are happy with them.

* For example, <code><nowiki>[http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/]</nowiki></code> produces a simple link like this [http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/].

* Without the brackets, <code><nowiki>http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/</nowiki></code> the URL is displayed as the link http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/.

Again, if you want the link to be some specific text, rather than the URL itself, use brackets, follow the URL with a space and then the text that should be displayed.
