Hi Julian and Don,
I am aware of the use of the html convention which you describe and it works
fine when transferring an address to a web page. Incidentally « and » are
produced by using the alt key together with number pad 0171 and 0187.
I tried using this technique in the comments section of a source but (as I
expected) it did not give a link to my web site.

Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 21:15:50 +0100
I use the following in Legacy (in Notes, Events, Sources):
Source site: «a HREF="http://www.isphording.info"»Link to my site«/a»
Other person in this site: «a HREF="12666.html" target="main"»(Link to
this person)«/a»
The stuff just before "a" and at other places is critical, don't know
where it is on my keyboard, so I copy/paste it. like << and >>
Play around with these links, generate a html report and you can view
the results and click on the links to see if it works. I find linking
via a click able text to another person in the same genealogy is handy
and illustrating.
The html guru's here may be able to give more detail.
Example of links to census images can be found here:
