Linking on Perlmonks

Please see What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?, and also Writeup Formatting Tips.

If you type [id://250682], you will get a link like Re: HTML::Form problem with the node title automagically retrieved for you and the link being relative to whichever hostname people are browsing from.

(You can browse the site from perlmonks.com as well .org, with and without www., respectively. For the hostnames other than the one you're using your cookie does not apply, so following such a link appears to log you out.)

Thanks for the tips. I read those some time ago but didn't catch the significance of the internally-supplied linkage method. I arrogantly proceeded with HTML knowledge in hand, despite the warning that we're supposed to limit HTML in these messages -- I thought it was just for bulk reduction, not actual, operational, practical value. :-(	[reply]
