Now we're going to try adding a link using a word different from the page name. This requires a "pipe" which is symbolized by the | symbol (press SHIFT and \). You should use the format [[Pagename|WordsOnPage]], with the pipe in the middle. See if you can link to the organic chemistry page from the word "organic chemist" in the following sentence:
Why is it that every organic chemist I meet is incredibly good looking?
Once you have done that, try adding an external link - a link to a web page outside the wiki. This is done using only one square bracket around the link. Don't use the pipe - this time just use a single space after the URL. See if you can get [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry] to appear as a live link in the following sentence
