to get that kind of link you can use [http://google.com http://google.com] which will display http://google.com as a link. regards mark On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 12:10 PM, Dave Derry <dave.derry(a)equifax.com> wrote:

I'm writing a tutorial for our team. In it I reference example URLs, which, since they are just examples, don't go anywhere. When I enter something like http://test.efx.com:8080/sample I get a link. What I want is just plain text. I found the nowiki tag, which seems to be what I need. However, when I enter <nowiki>http://test.efx.com:8080/sample</nowiki>, what I get is a link surrounded by nowiki tags. In other words, the tags are displayed rather than being interpreted. Is there some configuration setting that needs to be made? Or something else that I'm missing? Using the latest stable MediaWiki on Solaris 10, running under Resin 3.1.7a.
