HTML links in text.

**Freef** · 21st March 2008, 06:23

2 questions:

1] how do you [or rather me] change the text of an HTML tag from www. so and so to a word such as 'here' while still keeping the link?

2] can the font colour be changed a bit so that the HTML links stand out better from the normal text?

Thanks.

My new site

is done as follows:
[ URL="http://new.outlawdivers.org.uk" ][ COLOR="Orange" ][ U] My new site[ /U ][ /COLOR ][ /URL ]

take the spaces away from the [ and ] though

or write the text select it then under line it, select it and the under line tag, colour it select it and the under line tag and the color tag,and then hit the link button.
The will give you the code above

Top right of a new post has an [a/A] button, and the "go advanced" button change the format of the text. When you see html like characters you can change the text.

I wasn't clear on question 2.

Can the whole site be changed so the colour of the font when URL's are inserted as people type things like "the information is here" and I look for a link before realising that the 'here' is is a very slightly different shade to the rest of the words and is in fact the link.
