[Mediawiki-l] Break out links-How are they done?

[David Spencer]

Hello:

Break out links-How are they done?


I would like to create an external link from my wiki to an external web
site. I would like a new web browser to open up.

What is the wiki code I should use to perform this action?


For example, in HTML a breakout link code would look like this.

To read more about ice cream, please visit <A
HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cream" TARGET="_blank">here</A>



How do I make a break out link to open a new browser window from a wiki?

To read more about ice cream, please visit
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cream here].

The above wiki code will not open a new web browser.


I look forward to your response!
