Confluence Docs 3.0 : Linking to Web Pages This page last changed on Oct 22, 2007 by smaddox. This page tells you how to use Confluence Notation to link to a web page. Instead, you can also use the Rich Text editor. In Confluence notation, links are always denoted by square brackets. Whenever you place text between square brackets, Confluence recognizes it as a link. You can display your own text instead of the URL: Inside the square brackets, insert the required text followed by a vertical bar and then the URL. The second example shows this. To link to a web page outside Confluence,
What you need to type | What you will get
--- | ---
[http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence] | http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence
[go to Atlassian|http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence] | go to Atlassian
Where: 'http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence' is the URL that you want to link to. Confluence will also try to find URLs within the text of the page and convert them into links, but it may have trouble separating the link from its surrounding text, especially when punctuation is involved. Putting the link inside square brackets will ensure that it is interpreted the right way. ##### RELATED TOPICS Rich Text-Linking to a Page Linking to Pages Within the Same Space Linking to Pages in Another Space Working with Links Overview Take me back to Confluence User Guide
