Manual Links Link to a tiddler by title: ``` [[Tiddler Title]] ``` To link to a tiddler and specify the text of the link: ``` [[Displayed Link Title|Tiddler Title]] ``` ! ~CamelCase Links For tiddler titles that match the CamelCase rules, just typing the title without double square brackets will automatically create a link. You can suppress a link from being recognised by preceding it with `~`. For example: <> ! External Links To link to an external website, type the full URL of the site: ``` http://tiddlywiki.com/ [[TW5|http://tiddlywiki.com/]] ``` For this syntax to work, the URL has to be recognisable as an URL, including a protocol such as `http://` or `file://`. You can force an external link with the extended syntax: ``` [ext[tiddlywiki.com]] [ext[caption for link|tiddlywiki.com]] [ext[Donate|bitcoin:1aabbdd....?amount=0.001]] ``` ! Customising Tiddler Links See the LinkWidget for details of the underlying widget used to implement tiddler links, including macros that can be used to customise its behaviour.
