Links

Writing links

Kind	Type
Inline	[text](https://example.com "title")
Reference	[text][id], with [id]: https://example.com elsewhere
Autolink	<https://example.com>, or a bare https://… or www.…
Wiki link	[[Page]], [[Page|label]]
HTML	<a href="https://example.com">text</a>

Press Ctrl+K (Format ▸ Hyperlink) to link the selection. Paragraph ▸ Link Reference adds a reference definition.

Clicking a link

Settings ▸ Control ▸ Live Preview ▸ Clicking a Link chooses what a click does:

• Edit, ⌘-Click to Open (the default): a click edits the link. ⌘-click, or Ctrl+click on Windows and Linux, opens it.
• Open, ⌘-Click to Edit: the reverse.

Clicking a footnote reference scrolls to its definition.

The link toolbar

Rest the pointer on a link and a toolbar appears, with Open, a menu of where to open it, the destination to edit, and Copy Link.

See Web pages for what the menu offers.

Links to files

A link can point to a file by relative or absolute path, or as a file:// URL. Typora completes paths as you type a link's destination.

A document's typora-root-url in front matter sets the base for absolute paths such as /assets/a.png.

Links to headings

Link to a heading in the same document with # and the heading's text, in lower case with hyphens for spaces:

[See the rollout](#rollout)

If two headings have the same text, the second is #rollout-2.

A link to a heading in another file, such as other.md#rollout or [[Other#Rollout]], opens that file at the top.

Wiki links

[[Page]] links to another Markdown file. A target without an extension gets .md. Wiki links are on by default; turn them off with Settings ▸ Markdown ▸ Syntax ▸ Wiki Links. ![[image.png|300]] embeds an image, and ![[Note]] shows a card for another document.

Allowed destinations

Typora opens http, https, mailto, tel, ftp and file links.
