updated formatting

New page

This wiki supports the <code>rel</code>, <code>rev</code> and <code>class</code> attributes on links.

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

==rel attribute==
To set the rel attribute, place one or more tokens in double-parentheses at the end of the link title. e.g.:

<pre><nowiki>
[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/ Berkman((me home))]
</nowiki></pre>

The above would be converted to the following link:

<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/" rel="me home" class="external">Berkman</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>

==caveats==
Colorization of links only works on external links for the moment so internal wiki links in the form of:

<pre><nowiki>
[[Internal_Page|Link]]
</nowiki></pre>

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>

==examples==
<pre><nowiki>
[http://www.google.com/ This((.link_red))] is a link in red.
</nowiki></pre>
* [http://www.google.com/ This((.link_red))] is a link in red.
<pre><nowiki>
[http://www.google.com/ This((.link_green))] is a link in green.
</nowiki></pre>
* [http://www.google.com/ This((.link_green))] is a link in green.
<pre><nowiki>
[http://www.google.com/ This((.link_blue))] is a link in blue.
</nowiki></pre>
* [http://www.google.com/ This((.link_blue))] is a link in blue.
<pre><nowiki>
[http://www.google.com/ This((.link_yellow))] is a link in yellow.
</nowiki></pre>
* [http://www.google.com/ This((.link_yellow))] is a link in yellow.

<pre><nowiki>
[http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cfl/Main_Page This((.link_green))] is a green link.
</nowiki></pre>
* [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cfl/Main_Page This((.link_green))] is a green link.
