More techniques:
You can link to a website by typing in the name, starting with www. Links are generally not allowed – the exceptions are links on the Yeshiva World News or the Coffee Room, and pages on hebrewbooks.org.
You can also create a link in text that does not match the link,
like this:
<a href=http://www.yourwebsitehere.com>your text here</a>
Note that you must type http://www. before the site’s name if you want to do it like this. The link will not work otherwise.
“Escaping”:
If you want to type text like this – "<em>Bob</em>" – without having it turn into “Bob,” etc., you do it like this:
<code>Your text here</code>
or just by putting this symbol ” ` ” (it’s above Tab on the left side of the keyboard) on either side of your text.
(When you write this way, all the letters take up the same amount of space.)
