To set the rel attribute, place one or more tokens in double-parentheses at the end of the link title. e.g.:
To set the style attribute on a link, enclose the link title within a span with a defined style - in this case specifically, color. e.g.:


<pre><nowiki>

[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ Berkman((me home))]
[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ <span style="color:green;">Berkman</span>]

  <a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/"><span style="color:green;">Berkman</span></a>
 
==class attribute==
To set the class attribute, the same syntax is used, but tokens which represent classes are prefixed with a dot:
 
<pre><nowiki>
[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ Berkman((me .class1 home .class2))]
</nowiki></pre>
 
Becomes:
 
<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/" rel="me home" class="external class1 class2">Berkman</a>
 
==rev attrribute==
Similar to the class attribute, prefixing with a tilde (~) sets the <code>rev</code> attribute.
 
==removing attributes==
Tokens may be prefixed by a minus sign (-) to indicate that you don't want to ''add'' the token, but ''remove'' it. For example:
 
<pre><nowiki>
[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ Berkman((me -.external home))]
</nowiki></pre>
 
Becomes:
 
<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/" rel="me home">Berkman</a>

Colorization of links only works on external links for the moment so internal wiki links in the form of:
There are no caveats at the moment.
 
<pre><nowiki>
[[Internal_Page|Link]]

will not work - these will need to be converted to external links in the form of:
 
<pre><nowiki>
[http://hostname.domainname.tld/Internal_Page Link((.class))]
</nowiki></pre>

This wiki supports css style attributes on links.

The syntax is a little unorthodox but is set using the following:

style attribute

To set the style attribute on a link, enclose the link title within a span with a defined style - in this case specifically, color. e.g.: 

[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ <span style="color:green;">Berkman</span>]

The above would be converted to the following link: 

<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/">Berkman</a>

caveats

There are no caveats at the moment.
