how do you embed a url in one word?

Question

when you want to show one or two words, in the copy of something you are writing online, what is the html coding to embed a url into those words, so that all you see is the word(s), instead of the entire url address?

Answer 1

Link Codes:



Making an image a link:

If site does not host images, then you MUST host your image online at any good image hosting site. The "src" image URL MUST be the DIRECT link to the image alone and not to the page the image is on. Put the correct link for the site in the href="" attribute. Put the DIRECT URL to ONLY the image in the src="" attribute.



Text Link only:

Link Text Description

You can change the "p" tags to div tags and style as needed.

Sites that use BBCode:



Making an image a link using BBCode:



[url=URL path to external link][img]http://Path to image[/img][/url]



If site does not host images, then you MUST host your image online at any good image hosting site. The URL MUST be the DIRECT link to the image alone and not to the page the image is on.



Text Link only:



[url=URL path to external link]Link Text Description[/url]

YA Links:



You have to be pass Level 1 to have clickable links on YA.



Three ways to put a link here:



1) From the browser's address field, click inside the field, press Ctrl + A if it doesn't turn to your highlight color, then press Ctrl + C to copy. Return to your post and click inside textbox area. Then press Ctrl + V to paste link.



2) If getting link from a page link, right-click on the link and select "Copy Link Location (may be worded differently depending on browser). Repeat part to paste in post.



3) Type a link directly. Links are preceeded by "http://". Example: http://answers.yahoo.com/ Always include the "/" at the end. Saves a referral call. Some sites are filtered by YA and will not be allowed. Include spaces BEFORE and AFTER the active link on YA only as YA combines any characters to the link that appear immediately before/after the link. This will cause a 404 Error in most cases.

Answer 2

Can you clarify what is happening? You are creating a Word document with embedded URLs. You send it as an eMail or as an attachment to an eMail? It is being viewed with the Mac's Mail application or being opened in Word (or some other application) on the Mac? Addendum: They may have the Mac's Mail application set to show eMails in Plain Text. Depending on their version of Mac OS and Mail they can configure this in the Mail's Preferences or View menu. Alternatively the document is getting mangled when passing through the email system. If the Word document is attached to an email does it work then?

Answer 3

YOUR TEXT



Is a html hyperlink, which i think is what your after? If your trying to post it on a forum, you may want BB code which is similar but uses square brackets and looks more like this: [url=YOURLINK]YOURTEXT[/url]



Anyway, hope that helps
