Description

I had to learn about this from the Redmine screenshots page.

I want to show text for a link, rather than the underlying URL. Apparently this can be done by putting the text in double quotes, then putting a colon, then the bare URL or wiki page in brackets. This is not documented on the qiki formatting quick reference, nor, as far as I can tell, anywhere else.

Thank you, Jean-Philippe. That is indeed quite helpful.

It would be great if this could be included with the Redmine distribution itself. Perhaps a link at the bottom of the quick reference could take a person to it? I feel nervous pointing people off-site for that (and that could also be an issue on intranets), so if it could be a built-in feature, that'd be ideal.

Partial patch at #778

It still references an offsite page for the details, which in my opinion isn't a good solution
