I CAN\'T TURN MY URL INTO A CLICKABLE HYPERLINK

PUT YOUR URL BETWEEN PARENTHESIS (ROUND BRACKETS LIKE THESE)
It is intended that you should describe hyperlinks with more
information that just the URL.

Here are some examples that might help:

HOW DO I ADD A NEW PAGE

READ THE GUIDE TO ADDINGPAGES [7].

HOWCOME WHEN I CLICK A HEADING IN THE INDEX OF A PAGE, IT TAKES ME TO
THE WRONG SECTION OF THE PAGE?

THIS IS BECAUSE OF A BUG IN THE WIKI PROCESSING ENGINE.
RegExpWiki [8] is able to generate indexes for each page, but is
unable to link the index items to the headings properley because of
limitations imposed by the way the wiki engine works. At the moment,
only the first word from each heading on a page is used to link to the
index - this page uses the word _Howcome_ to link to the heading
_Howcome when I..._', if 2 headings start with the same word then the
index will link both index items to the 1st entry. There is a planned
rewrite of the offending section of code (the core processing module)
which is aimed at fixing this bug and extending functionality further,
but this probably won't be available until October 2004 (this is the
correct as of June 2004).
