External links take your readers to places near and far on the Internet.
Creating external links
The easiest way to create an external link in Eggspress is to use Markdown syntax:
[]()
- Write your link text between the square brackets
- Write your URL between the parentheses
Examples:
[find online courses](https://opencourser.com)Here's a site where you can [watch videos and take quizzes](https://quizbi.com)
Eggspress requires that you provide a protocol (e.g. https://). If you omit this, Eggspress may treat your external link as an internal link. This may result in a broken or invisible link.
External link behavior
External links behave a bit differently from internal links. The most noticeable difference is that external links open in a new tab whereas internal links do not.
If you are linking to other pages or content on your Eggspress site, we strongly recommend using internal links.
