Links

The link feature supports inserting and editing hyperlinks into the content. Typed or pasted URLs and email addresses will be automatically turned into working links as you type/insert. Moreover, Sonat also supports internal links which help you link back to another topic of yours or even a specific heading within a topic.

Insert external links

Use the Link toolbar button   or press Ctrl+K (on PC) or Cmd+K (on Mac) to type or paste a new link.

Edit links

Clicking on a link will activate the contextual toolbar, from which you can edit existing links

 or unlink them with a click.

Typing around links

To type inside a link, move the caret to its (start or end) boundary. As long as the link remains highlighted (by default: blue), typing and applying formatting will be done within its boundaries.

To type before or after a link, move the caret to its boundary, then press the Arrow key (→ or ←) once. The link is no longer highlighted and whatever text you type or formatting you apply will not be enclosed by the link.

Insert Internal links

You can use the topic link button

on the toolbar to create a link to another topic or a heading.

1. Select the anchor text (the part of the text you want to hyperlink)
2. Click the topic link button on the editor toolbar.

1. On the topic list pop-up window, choose your intended topic or heading. You can also edit the anchor text through the title field above the window. (clicking the small dropdown arrow next to each parent topic will reveal all its child topics. Clicking each topic will reveal its headings on the right.)
2. Click ADD to apply the link. (Click CANCEL if you want to quit)
