? about adding links to blog etc. in Sigil-made ebook

Gregg Bell · 03-18-2013, 03:09 PM

I'm done shaping up my novel with Sigil. Got the epub check ok. But I'd like to add those links where you can just click on them and they'll take you to:author page, blog, Facebook page, Twitter page. I looked at the Sigil User guide 7.0 links section but just couldn't find anything but internal links stuff. Anybody know how to set up the others? Or maybe have a link for a tutorial on how to do it. Many thanks.

Just use Insert Link as normal and paste the URL (http://yadayada/) you want the link to go to in the text box at the bottom of the Insert Link dialog. You don't have to pick something from the list of available links - that's just there for convenience. If you notice, when you do pick something, it just puts it in the text box (unless you double-click then it automatically uses it).

You could copy the Address (URL) from your Web browser Address bar when viewing the page

So what does one do if the reading device has no WiFi or 3G

I think Flight Crew will complain about references outside the book too.

Nope! Webscriptions.net reference in many books.
It WILL complain about target= statements

Target statements were mostly what I was thinking of.
