Linking to other pages in Plone
Here we discuss how to create links in reStructured text and HTML, as well as giving tips as regards the format of Plone links.
There are two kinds of links: links to pages on the same website (internal links) and links to pages outside the site (external links)
Linking in reStructuredText
For a once-off link, it's quickest to write:
`Some Web Address <http://www.website.com>`__
To link the same word several times:
This is how i create the link `Vasudevaservice`_ in my text. And I only need to specify the target once: .. _`Vasudevaservice`: http://www.vasudevaservice.com

Linking in HTML:
The code is very simple:
<a href="(URL of link)">(Text of link)</a>
Linking in Kupu

Copy and Paste
When adding links (especially long ones) it is best to use copy and paste; if you type it you will probably make a mistake at some point. A tabbed browser like Firefox or Safari is useful for this because you can copy the link in one tab and paste it in the other.
Check your Links!
When you have saved the page, it is good practice to hover the mouse over all the links youve created to check it looks right. For example, if you hover over Sri Chinmoy in the navigation on the left you will see the link http://www.vasudevaservice.com/sri_chinmoy in the bottom left of your browser; if you click it will go to the page.
