Internal hyperlinks

Before we get into creating an internal hyperlink, let's look at the difference between an internal hyperlink and an external hyperlink:

Internal hyperlinks

Internal hyperlinks are used to create links to pages or documents within the same site (i.e. PDF documents).

Notes:

  • You will note when creating an internal hyperlink, there is no "internal" class selection.
  • To link to a PDF document, it must already be uploaded to your site's docs folder which is in the assets folder. Remember, when creating a link to a PDF document, select the "PDF" class. This will put a document icon next to the link.

External hyperlinks

External hyperlinks are used to create links to pages that exist on external websites or other UVic sites.

Note:

  • When creating external hyperlinks, remember to select the "external" class. This will put an icon next to the link that looks like an arrow bouncing off a page.
  • The URL for the link should include the full "https://".
