! External Links
To link to an external website, type the full URL of the site:
To link to an external [[resource|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_resource]] such as a website or a file, type its //full// [[URL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL]], including the [[URI scheme|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme]] such as a protocol (e.g. `http://`, `file://`) or `mailto`:
```
http://tiddlywiki.com/
[[TW5|http://tiddlywiki.com/]]
[[Mail me|mailto:me@where.net]]

For this syntax to work, the URL has to be recognisable as a URL. Otherwise, it is treated as a tiddler title. As a result, in case you want to link to a resource locatable using a relative path, use the extended syntax:
```
[ext[Open file|index.html]]
[ext[Open file|./index.html]]
[ext[Open file|../README.md]]
```
The extended syntax still works with full URLs, although in that case it is not necessary:
```
[ext[http://tiddlywiki.com]]
[ext[caption for link|http://tiddlywiki.com]]
[ext[TW5|http://tiddlywiki.com]]
```
You can also use the extended syntax to force an external link:
```
[ext[Donate|bitcoin:1aabbdd....?amount=0.001]]
```
