These shortcuts work in chatterbox messages as well as in nodes. </p> <p> Also see "[id://17544]" for additional info on how HTML is handled in general by the chatterbox. <!-- 2004-01-22 [jdporter] The following may still be true, but why bother? <P>In [id://17534|private messaging], you have an additional means of linking that is available <i>only</i> here; it is not supported in regular posts or in the public chatterbox. <br/> You can link to a node by its node ID number, using the syntax <code>[node_id=NNN]</code>. <br/> For example, if you send <code>/msg vroom [node_id=131]</code>, [vroom] will receive a message with [The Monastery Gates] in his message inbox. --> <hr/> <i>Back to the [PerlMonks FAQ]</i>
