References to another web page

If you want to reference another page of your own website, you can either use complete address or just the name of the page.

Example

I can reference TOC page using
[[http://howto.leanws.com/toc][its complete address]] or
[[toc][just using name of the page]].

Result

I can reference TOC page using its complete address or just using name of the page.

Referencing files

Your auxiliary files are stored in the files/ directory, and you can reference them similarly how it is done with web pages.

Example

Reading
[[files/example.pdf][this PDF document]] might help you filling
[[https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf][IRS tax forms]].

Result

Reading this PDF document might help you filling IRS tax forms.

Notes

• When referring to a file for downloading
  [[files/example.pdf][this PDF document]], we have to specify its directory files/.
• What happens when we click a link to a file, depends on the web browser and its configuration. Some browsers will open a PDF document as if it was a web page; others will just save it in the Downloads folder.

Audio files

Modern browsers support embedding audio files.

Example

If you like this free music\\
[[audio:relax.mp3]]\\
you can
[[files/relax.mp3][download the file]] and share it with your friends.

Result

If you like this free music

you can download the file and share it with your friends.

Note

When referring to a file for downloading
[[files/relax.mp3][download the file]], we have to specify its directory files/

Images

Inserting images in a web page is somewhat similar to inserting an audio file. The simplest directive is [[files/image-file.jpeg]]

Example

When we view an image on the webpage
[[image:cat1.jpeg]]
its size is adjusted to the screen width; in order to download the full size picture, we refer it as a file:
[[files/cat1.jpeg][right click to download the full-sized image]].

Result

its size is adjusted to the screen width; in order to download the full size picture, we refer it as a file: right click to download the full-sized image.

Note

To learn how to specify image's size and placement, read simple and advanced manuals.
