Hello again,

I'm trying to create a link on a page that leads the user to the 'User Guide' provided by XWiki.org.

Following the syntax guide found at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HLinks http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax#HLinks for a 'Link that opens in a new page', for the XWiki Syntax 1.0, I have created a link like this:

[User Guide>_http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide]

But you're not following what is written :) It says >_blank and you've used _something else. Check the XWiki 1.0 link specification below the table for the full spec. Thanks -Vincent

However, when I click on this link:

1) it does not open a new window or tab 2) it transfers me to the 'homepage' (Main.WebHome) of my XWiki site, instead of the actual link destination

Can anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Such a silly question, I know, but any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

The syntax page is wrong (strange, it seemed to be OK last time I read it).

Why do you say it's wrong? Thanks -Vincent

Use this:

[User Guide>http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ UserGuide>_blank]

Thanks Sergiu,

I wouldn't say the syntax page is wrong just slightly misleading. As Vincent said, the Link specification is a bit more helpful than the table.

But for future reference, in the table for a 'Link that opens in a new page', you should use an example like:

[Click this link>www.to_go_here.com>_blank]

This would just be a bit more clear to the readers.

Actually there was a misunderstanding. I was sure that you didn't have to specify a label since I code the link parser that made the label optional. But I've just realized that the rendering code isn't using this parser and does its own parsing and it requires a label to be specified. Sorry about that. Thanks -Vincent

Hello! I copied and pasted the following link in my wiki page: [User Guide>http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide>_blank] When I click on the "User Guide" link, it does not open a new window or tab. I am running XWiki 1.4.1. What am I doing wrong? ** Mary Ellen Sergiu Dumitriu-2 wrote:
