Using Text as Hyperlinks

To create a plain text hyperlink, enter the text of the hyperlink, using #LinkText# in place of the resource name. For more information about entering hyperlink text, see:

• Entering a URL and Hyperlink Text for Links from WebPAC Full Record Displays

• Entering a URL and Hyperlink Text for Links from External Origins

You must use the system variable #LinkText# to create the hyperlink. Using #LinkText# causes the WebBridge resolution server to create a hyperlink by combining the resource URL and the text you enter.

The WebBridge resolution server replaces #LinkText# with the name of the resource hyperlinked to the target resource URL. Other text is displayed but not linked.

For example, if you enter the text

Article available at #LinkText#

in the resource definition named Kluwer, the hyperlink displays as

Article available at Kluwer

Entering HTML Code in Hyperlinks

The hyperlink text can contain HTML code. For example, if you enter

Available at #LinkText# in <strong>PDF</strong>

in the resource definition named Kluwer, the hyperlink displays as

Available at Kluwer in PDF

In this example, the use of the HTML <strong> tag causes "PDF" to display in a bolded font.
