This site only gives very basic advice for very basic issues.

Insert links

Inserting external links is easy:

• If you simply type (or copy&paste) a URL, this will create a link. Easy!
• The URL has to start with https:// - if not, there will be no link see example no. 2 below.
• If you place the URL between square brackets, the link will have a running number as its name (see example no. 3).
• If you want the link to have a link text (so the ugly URL is no immediately visible), enter a space after the URL (no. 4).
• If you forget the space, your link name will be ignored (example no. 5).
• You can insert canon-specific links to the Clavis database. The easiest way is to copy&paste the URL from your browser. Note that "context" refers to how many entries before and after the canon are displayed. The key is part of the URL and also a good link name, so insert a space and the key at the end. See no. 6 below.

Internal links

• Internal links are links within this Clavis Wiki, e.g. from the description to one collection to that of another one.
• Internal links are enclosed in double (!) square brackets, with the optional link text separate with a "|" (no space needed). If no site exists, placing a term between double square brackets will create a page of that name.

Examples:

1. https://www.mgh.de/de results in: https://www.mgh.de/de
   
2. www.mgh.de results in: www.mgh.de
   
3. [https://www.mgh.de/de] and [https://www.dmgh.de/] results in: [1] and [2]
   
4. [https://www.mgh.de/de MGH] results in: MGH
   
5. [[The Dionysiana|The ''Dionysiana'']] results in: The Dionysiana (internal link)
