 *<nop>WikiWord Links:* %BR%
 <nop>CapitalizedWordsStuckTogether (or WikiWords) will produce a link automatically if preceded by whitespace or parenthesis. %BR%
%T% If you want to link to a topic in a different web write =Otherweb.TopicName=. %BR%
%H% The link label excludes the name of the web, e.g. only the topic name is shown. As an exception, the name of the web is shown for the <nop>%HOMETOPIC% topic.

It's generally a good idea to use the TWikiVariables %<nop>TWIKIWEB% and %<nop>MAINWEB% instead of TWiki and Main.

 *Anchors:* %BR%
 You can define a reference inside a TWiki topic (called an anchor name) and link to that. To __define__ an anchor write =#AnchorName= at the beginning of a line. The anchor name must be a WikiWord.

 *Forced Links:* %BR%
 You can create a forced internal link by enclosing words in double square brackets.
%BR% 
Text within the brackets may contain optional spaces; the topic name is formed by capitalizing the initial letter and by removing the spaces; for example, =[<nop>[text formatting FAQ]]= links to topic TextFormattingFAQ.  You can also refer to a different web and use anchors.
%BR%
%T% To "escape" double square brackets that would otherwise make a link, prefix the leading left square bracket with an exclamation point.

 *Specific Links:* %BR%
 You can create a link where you specify the link text and the URL separately using nested square brackets =[<nop>[reference][text]]=. Internal link references (e.g. WikiSyntax) and URLs (e.g. http://TWiki.org/) are both supported.
The rules described under __Forced Links__ apply for internal link references.
 %BR% %T% Anchor names can be added as well, to create a link to a specific place in a topic.
