According to the TW5 Roadmap (see http://tiddlywiki.com/static/RoadMap.html), external links to images and other files is not yet completed: "... [img[url]] for remote image embedding, and [ext[url]] for explicit external links..." Fortunately, one of the features of TW5 is the ability to freely mix TiddlyWiki and HTML formatted syntax within your tiddler content. Until "[ext[url]]" is implemented, you can always embed a relative link using HTML syntax, like this: <a href="documents/syllabus.pdf" target="_blank">Syllabus</a> enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios EVERY DONATION IS IMPORTANT!
