See? It isn't easy writing tech manuals, is it? 8-}

Or you might try:

< a href="http://address"> name of site</a>

Which is what LunaC was saying

Example of address is www.cnn.com for name could be CNN interactive;

as in

CNN interactive Or so it goes. Note Phil's site doen't like "smart quotes".

What are "smart quotes"?

-- LunaC (LunaC@LunaC.com), May 08, 2000.

Smart quotes look like this  while stupid quotes look like this ". If you compose on this site; no problem. If you do it in something like Word Perfect, change your quotes in hot links. At least that is my experience.

Thanks. I'll try it.

Thanks, Z! Whoda thunk that we'd have terminology to distinguish between quotation marks? For some reason I find that amusing.

They are called escape sequences. It allows you force a system to view characters the way you want, rather than executing a function.

&lt;"blah"&gt; (for instance)

gives <"blah">

Not too hard to learn if you put your mind to it! (if I can do it, so can anyone else!)
