How to create hyperlinks

patrickyoung · 01-30-2012, 07:27 AM

We've created an epub document with images and would like to hyperlink the images so that, if a reader is online when they're reading the document, they can click on an image and it will take them to a website. Can anyone tell us how to hyperlink images in Sigil?

You're basically asking for a short lesson in writing HTML. There's nothing Sigil-specific about creating hyperlinks.

Code:

<a href="http://www.url.com"><img src="../Images/imgname.jpg" /></a>

Pretty familiar with html but very new to Sigil. How do you go about linking images? For example, in Word, you can right click and select the hyperlink option , but that's not available in Sigil

You have to create the link yourself manually in Code View— something similar to the html I posted above. Sigil doesn't have any automatic hyperlink creation tools... yet.
