Hiya,

Basically, use square brackets to create links on PerlMonks. Hopefully this link should work exactly as I expect; it was produced by this code:

The pipe symbol separates the link target (your "href" bit) and the link name. So, to summarize, it's not the apostrophe, it's the linking syntax. Use the "preview" option.

Incidentally (because you mentioned apostrophes), you don't pluralize "apostrophe" by putting "apostrophe-s" on the end. The correct plural is "apostrophes".... Yes, I'm way, way too twitchy about that, and it's nothing to do with being stuck in on New Year's Eve by my lonesome... *sob*.

Happy New Year!

Kids, you tried your hardest, and you failed miserably. The lesson is: Never try.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
