---++ Introduction

This plugin adds one third block to _"Forced Specific Links"_ in the format: %BR%
==[<nop>[URL or <nop>TopicName][Link Text][Option:value]]==

Some new options and CSS sets can be used simultaneously, separated by a pipe (|): %BR%
==[<nop>[URL or <nop>TopicName][Link Text][Option1:value1|Option2:value2|...|OptionN:valueN]]==

---++ Syntax Rules

|  *Options*  |  *Values*  |  *Coment*  |
|  ==NewWin==  |  %GREEN%X%ENDCOLOR%x%GREEN%Y%ENDCOLOR%  | %GREEN%X%ENDCOLOR% and %GREEN%Y%ENDCOLOR% must be integer values. This option will open a new window with no menu, butons, or url bar, but it well have status bar |
|  ==Name==  |  %GREEN%Name%ENDCOLOR%  | %GREEN%Name%ENDCOLOR% can be a target name (using fames) or the name of a new window |
|  ==Title==  |  %GREEN%Text%ENDCOLOR%  | A text to be a hint for the link |
|  ==Class==  |  %GREEN%Name%ENDCOLOR%  | The name of a class (to define CSS style) |
|  ==ID==  |  %GREEN%Name%ENDCOLOR%  | This %GREEN%Name%ENDCOLOR% must be unique on the web page |
|  ==Skin==  |  %GREEN%<nop>SkinName%ENDCOLOR%  | %GREEN%SkinName%ENDCOLOR% must be a valid TWiki skin |
|  ==CSS==  |  %GREEN%CSS Code%ENDCOLOR%  | %GREEN%CSS Code%ENDCOLOR% is any valid CSS property and value that would apply to hyper links. You can insert as many properties as you like. For Example, ==color== is a CSS property, and you can put values like =%GREEN%#00A0F0%ENDCOLOR%= or =%GREEN%red%ENDCOLOR%=. See more colors in %TWIKIWEB%.StandardColors. See more in the [[http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cover.html#minitoc][CSS2 Specification in the W3C Web Site]] for CSS Link appropriate properties. |

The option names are case <strong><em>in</em></strong>sensitive for LinkOptionsPlugin or !CSS, but the !W3C defines that !CSS properties should be in lower case and it is important to code validation. The LinkOptionsPlugin options will work any way you prefer.
