7 Components: the Function Pages - Developers

Of course, you can also link to pages outside of the TWiki. The following
Internet services are automatically recognized and linked accordingly:
http://, https://, ftp://, gopher://,
news://, file://, telnet://, mailto://.
If you do not like CamelCase, but prefer notation using brackets,
you can also use this method to produce links: The link [[History
of humankind]] will still generate a page with a
CamelCase name: HistoryOfHumankind. The advantage to notation
with brackets is that you can separate the link text from the link reference;
i.e. while, in the case of [[Main.HistoryOf Humankind]],
you could have this complicated phrase appear in the
middle of your article without the brackets, if you use [[My-
Web.HistoryOfHumankind] [history of humankind]],
your link, appearing as “history of humankind,” can fit
better into the flow of the text. In the case of external links, you do
not even have to separate the link reference and link text with brackets.
A simple [[mailto://tim@troglodyte.org Tim]]
will suffice to only have “Tim” displayed on the page.
Note: In order to be able to display square brackets, which normally
constitute a link, you have to mask them with an exclamation point
before the phrase.
For very long pages, it is a good idea to set jump labels at various
points on the page containing internal page links. To do this, define
an anchor by placing the anchor name after a hash mark, e.g. #Summary
at the beginning of the line to which you want the browser to
jump. As you can imagine, the anchor name should also be a Wiki-
Word. To then set a link to a certain jump label on a page, just add
the anchor name with the hash to the page name:
[[HistoryOfHumankind#Summary]]
If you link to a jump label on the current page, you do not need to
add the page name.

You have already indirectly seen how to integrate images in the text
of your article in Chapter 11.2.3. However, let us review it once
again briefly: To integrate an image, you first have to attach it to
your page using the Attach function. In the options on the dialogue
