Advanced Linking

Linking pages with the simple mechanism is all well and good, but wouldn't it be nice to group the pages into smaller related areas. Or maybe you would like the page to open in anew window.

 

WikiDX provides a number of options within the link syntax [[ ]] that expand the functionality of the basic link.

• sg:... - Define the subgroup to use
• g:... - Define the group to use
• t:... - Define the target ie ''_blank'' (new window)

 

Examples

'''[[mypage]]''' - The most simple page link. Large wiki sites can be built just using this format.
'''[[:mygroup/docs/mypage ]]''' - Link to 'mypage' within the group 'mygroup'.
'''[[:mygroup/mysg/mypage t:_blank ]]''' - Link to 'mypage' specifying subgroup and group, and open in a new window.

 

The double bracket aproach allows a number of options. The first 'word' is the page to link too. Further options are g: and sg: (group and subgroup).
Anything following these will be displayed as the link text.

 

'''[[:test/test/testpage my link ]]''' will display the text 'my link' as the link text.

 

CamelCase links, ie two words joined with first letter of each word capitalized, are available as an optional add-on script.
