InterLinks

<< | Page list | >>

A quick way to refer to external URI:s

Needs rewrite and check of links

InterLinks are a quick way to refer to information in places outside the pages of this wiki, without having to remember cryptic URIs. To write an InterLink, you combine an InterMap-prefix with a colon and the rest of the URI. For example, to refer to the page DocumentationIndex at the PmWiki-site, you can use this markup:

	PmWiki:DocumentationIndex

In general you don't need a slash after the colon. However, since the markup does not allow a prefix and a colon, e.g. PmWiki:, by itself, you may have to write something like this:

	PmWiki:.

or this:

	LyxDevel:/

to create a link to the root of a website without specifying the name of the top page (i.e. LyxDevel:/ is the same LyxDevel:index.php3 but you do not have to rembemer the bit about index.php3).

The page Site.InterMap defines InterLink-prefixes as well as configurationfiles ¹ and companions are separeated into three groups below:

• Various links
• Link prefixes to mailing lists and news groups
• "Local" link prefixes

Various InterLink-prefixes

 PmWiki:PmWiki   

 Cookbook:EmacsPmWikiMode   

 LyxWeb:index.php3   

 LyxWiki:LyX/Links or ThisWiki:/LyX/Links

 Attach:/Site/aboutUploading/aFile.txt 

 LyxFtp:stable    

 LyxDevel:/    

 LyxBugs:/    

 LyxVCS:/   

 LyxSrc:lyx_main.C?rev=HEAD   

 LatexTips:index.html   

 CTAN:search/?action=/index.html   

 TexFAQ:?label=uselmfonts  

A more advanced example for accessing the source code through the web-interface:

  	LyxSrc:lyx_main.C?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

It shows the HEAD revision of the source file lyx_main.C in a format where keywords have been emphasized etc.

Mailing lists and news groups at gmane.org

 LyxDevelNews:/  
 LyxDocNews:/  
 LyxUsersNews:/  

 LyxDevelPost:32711  
 LyxDocPost:180  
 LyxUsersPost:13133  

 LyxDevelSearch:Herbert  
 LyxDocSearch:lyx  
 LyxUsersSearch:Herbert  

 LyxDevelThread:32691  
 LyxDocThread:180  
 LyxUsersThread:13133  

 LyxDevelThreadRoot:32711  
 LyxDocThreadRoot:180  
 LyxUsersThreadRoot:13133  

Here is an example of referring directly to a message 13471 in the LyX User's list:

  	LyxUsersPost:13471

Then there are also the standard PmWiki/InterMap-prefixes

"Local" prefixes

 ThisPage:?action=source

 Site

 ThisWiki:/LyX/Links

 ThisSite:local/public/localmap.txt.txt

¹ See scripts/intermap.txt and local/localmap.txt for complete information on the available prefixes (↑)

² This prefix comes from Cookbook:ThisSite (↑)
