Hi everyone. Is there a way to hyperlink to an external site?

For example, if the narrative reads, "Though most outsiders have disregarded the eerie reports..." can the words eerie reports be made a hyperlink that opens up a new window or tab and a different Website?

Thanks, T.

There is no special text processor notation, but you can always use HTML. For example, you can put this in your room description or in a print message:

Though most outsiders have disregarded the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/pe98wke">eerie reports</a>...

I thought there was a way to do it with the text processor but can't find that option. Have you tried inputting it as an html url link?

What are you wanting to spam btw? :p

Edit: Jay got there first.

Haha, my classmates and I are working on our first transmedia project. It will involve this text adventure, a blog, and YouTube. I want everything to link back to everything else, so I would like this to link back to the blog. I'll try your idea and let you know shortly.
