The given url is both the target and the visible text of the link: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">The official GNU ftp site is @url{http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu}. </pre></div> <p>produces: </p><div class="display"> <pre class="display">The official GNU ftp site is <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu">http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu</a>. </pre></div> <span id="Two_002dargument-form-of-_0040url"></span><h4 class="subsubheading">Two-argument form of <code>@url</code></h4> <p>Here is an example of the two-argument form: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">The official @url{http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu, GNU ftp site} holds programs and texts. </pre></div> <p>which produces: </p><div class="display"> <pre class="display">The official <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu">GNU ftp site</a> holds programs and texts. </pre></div> <p>that is, the Info (and TeX, etc.) output is this: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">The official GNU ftp site (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu) holds programs and texts. </pre></div> <p>while the HTML output is this: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">The official <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu">GNU ftp site</a> holds programs and texts. </pre></div> <span id="Three_002dargument-form-of-_0040url"></span><h4 class="subsubheading">Three-argument form of <code>@url</code></h4> <p>Finally, an example of the three-argument form: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">The @url{/man.cgi/1/ls,,ls} program … </pre></div> <p>which, except for HTML, produces: </p><div class="display"> <pre class="display">The <a href="/man.cgi/1/ls">ls</a> program … </pre></div> <p>but with HTML: </p><div class="example"> <pre class="example">The <a href="/man.cgi/1/ls">ls</a> program … </pre></div> <p>By the way, some people prefer to display urls in the unambiguous format: </p> <div class="display"> <pre class="display"><URL:http://<var>host</var>/<var>path</var>> </pre></div> <p><span id="index-_003cURL_002e_002e_002e_003e-convention_002c-not-used"></span> You can use this form in the input file if you wish. We feel it’s not necessary to include the ‘<samp><URL:</samp>’ and ‘<samp>></samp>’ in the output, since to be useful any software that tries to detect urls in text already has to detect them without the ‘<samp><URL:</samp>’. </p> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="URL-Line-Breaking.html">URL Line Breaking</a>, Up: <a href="_0040url.html"><code>@url</code>, <code>@uref{<var>url</var>[, <var>text</var>][, <var>replacement</var>]}</code></a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Command-and-Variable-Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
