how to create links
You cannot use HTML anchor tags to create hyperlinks, but you don't need to. In fact, just typing a URL will make it an active external link in the text. For example: http://www.cern.ch produces a link to CERN.
There are two general types of links, '''internal''' links to an article (page) in this wiki, or '''external''' links to some other web site.
== Internal Links ==
Internal links are links to an article or section in an article in the same wiki:
{| {{Prettytable}}
|-

|bgcolor="#A7C1F2"|'''You get:'''
|-

|<tt>...this leads to the need for a <nowiki>[[Cosmic Ray Detector]]</nowiki></tt>
| ...this leads to the need for a [[Cosmic Ray Detector]]

|Internal link with alternate link text
|<tt> ...which leads to the need for a <nowiki>[[Cosmic Ray Detector|CRD]]</nowiki></tt>
