No, since a link would not just be a word with a following colon, appearing at the start of a line, and so would not be recognised as a PTV. You need to add a seperate foxedit link for this. hope this helps! ~Hans _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
