How Do You Make A Link From Your Dispatch To Something In It

Postby Jachaelter » Fri Aug 22, 2014 6:51 am

I saw a dispatch with links in it that took you to another part of the dispatch, and I was wondering how you do that.

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=256878#TOC should help. It was quite confusing when I first read it, though, so be warned.

Thanks but I didn't understand any of that.

I'm afraid that's the only way to do it.

Try spending more than three minutes reading it, and actually test it out, rather than expecting someone to spoon-feed you everything.

That's because virtually all of your posts and topics indicate that you rarely if ever attempt to figure stuff out on your own ... and when someone explains, you argue with them. I'm assuming you're either clueless or trolling, and I'm leaning towards trolling.

There is a limit to our patience, and you're pretty much over the line.

Code: Select all
[url=INSERTFACTBOOKURL#INSERTLETTERS]Military[/url]

Basically, you put the factbook URL - you'll have to publish your factbook first to get it, then you put a hashtag at the end of it. There you put a word that, as you see, matches the one in the anchor=mil. This is how it allows you to go to another part of the dispatch. It has to match it EXACTLY, or it won't work. Between the [url=INSERTFACTBOOKURL#mil]and[/url] is what you actually see on the dispatch. So if you wanted it to say military, then say military.

The bottom piece of code is where it'll direct you too - between the and, this is what you see on the dispatch. Hope this helped :p It was a bit confusing to me when i saw it first too. just use the codes i put and put in what you need.

EDIT: Ugh, i did a really poor job explaining it.

Code: Select all
[anchor=INSERTEXACTLETTERS]Military[/anchor]

If there's ever *any* interesting formatting that you want to see the code to, you can always quote the post and see it in the pre-posting screen.

Jesus, Hobbes, it's 2015. You can't just call someone "the color".
