    I am unable to get links to work. I have tried just naively entering the html for a link
    and obviously something else is required, maybe some kind of escape code. Can someone help with this?

    Thanks

    Could you say more specifically where you are trying to enter the link?

  3.  

    When you're typing your question or answer, try typing CTRL+L, or click the little picture of the earth with a little arrow next to it (it's the third thing from the left in the bar above the input field).

    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.

    I just put an answer to that question.

    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.

    Thanks Will. I just fixed the links in the question itself.

    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.

    By the way, entering the html actually does work, but the editor is extremely finicky about what html it will accept. 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.
