5. The link will be created. The text will be blue with an underline. Note: links are not active when the page is in edit mode.
Note: An Internet link can also be added by simply typing the URL into the page. Any set of characters that starts with www. or http:// and ends with a space will be converted to an Internet link. If the URL contains spaces, enclose the URL in double quotes and the link will be converted correctly.
