Subject: External link to same server
To: xwiki-users@objectweb.org

The links documentation tells how to add a link to another wiki page and a link to a URL like http://yahoo.com

I would like to link to a URL that isn't inside the xwiki application but is on the same server without putting in the hostname or ip address. If I was doing this in html, I would use "<a href="/otherapp/home">Other App</a>.

I tried the form [/otherapp/home] and simply /otherapp/home but those don't generate the right link. (The first comes out as a link to an xwiki page. The second comes out as plain text.)

Is there a way to do this?

Yes with HTML... :)

The wiki syntax is for generating links to pages (aka documents). There's no wiki syntax for generating general purpose links.
