Linking to News

You need to edit in 'Wiki Markup' mode to create a link to a news item.

To link to a news item,

You need to know the title of the news item as well as the date on which it was created.

Convert the date into the format: year/month/day.
You can now create a link to the news item, like this:

What you need to type

What you will get

[/2005/08/26/Sample News]
Sample News

Where:

'/2005/08/26' is the date the news item was published.
'Sample News' is the title of the news item.

Example of Use

I've created a test blog/news that you can test to link to.

You have three options:

1. Directly providing the URL - absolute path

[http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEST/2007/05/15/Test+Link+News]

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEST/2007/05/15/Test+Link+News

2. Using the alias as well

[my blog|http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/TEST/2007/05/15/Test+Link+News]

my blog

3. Using the relative path `on the same server`

Note: the entire path to the news item has to be provided to access it

[my blog|TEST:2007/05/15/Test Link News]

my blog

You can also link to a whole day's news items, just by leaving out the news item's title at the end of the link.

[my blog|TEST:2007/05/15]

my blog

Note

Linking to a news item that has not been created yet will not result in a link; news items are very tightly bound to the time at which they were created, and thus it makes no sense to link to them before they exist.
