Linking and Viewing PDFs
There are many ways to link, view, or create PDF in Dokuwiki.
External Links
The first way to link to an external pdf is to use [[ ]] brackets as one would for links:
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
[[https://bcarcc.org/twometre.pdf]] | https://bcarcc.org/twometre.pdf |
[[https://bcarcc.org/twometre.pdf|Two Metre Repeaters]] | Two Metre Repeaters |
This works, but notice the “Earth” icon on the left of the link, identifying that it's a link to an external webpage. We can change this identifying icon to a PDF by using the {{ }} brackets instead, which are also used for images:
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
{{https://bcarcc.org/twometre.pdf}} | twometre.pdf |
{{https://bcarcc.org/twometre.pdf|Two Metre Repeaters}} | Two Metre Repeaters |
Internal Links
These brackets also work for internal files that are stored on our server (like images):
| Code | Result |
{{:blog:2019-08-11:twometre.pdf |}} | twometre.pdf |
{{:blog:2019-08-11:twometre.pdf |Two Metre Repeaters}} | Two Meter Repeaters |
