Html of the form

<a href="http://link.com"> link </a>

will work. Your links didn't work because they were of the form

<a href= "http://link.com"> link </a>
<a  href="http://link.com"> link </a>

The extra spaces broke the links.

Note that the usual methods sometimes do not work with Wikipedia links that have peculiar punctuation. It might work on everybody else's up-to-date browsers.

Actually, if you enter your strange punctuation links using CTRL+L or by clicking the button in the button bar (as opposed to manually entering the markdown), the editor automagically escapes all the weird characters.

If you're trying to make a link in a comment, just type the URL (without any extra html) and it will be automatically linkified.

Can someone help with this?
