I've had a look at the existing interface and noticed that multi-word clickable phrases are a bit misleading already (see "full link") in the current interface.
Harriet's screen shot looks fine but is that really how it would come out in the browser? If these can be made to look more like buttons not only will that help people realise they're clickable but it will also help make it clearer which words belong with each other. This is the same thinking behind preferring underlines for ordinary links. Witness the way JIRA iself manages the same situation, underlining *and* extra space between clickable actions. If underlining is out (or is skinned away) then perhaps some type of delimiter is in order? Maybe the links should be rendered as buttons, so its more like the HTML editors ?
Generally agree that buttons might be clearer and that some terms rely on previous experience of html, but I still like 'external link' (reasonable assumption that people understand internal/external) and 'resource link' (because it refers to resources area). Table is popular with quite a few of my users!
Hmmm - yes. I was going to say that my problem with external link is that people are confused as to whether it's external to CamTools or external to the wiki, but I suppose it doesn't make any difference, so that makes sense.
I still don't like Resource Link because it isn't actually good English - Link to Resource is one thing, but Resource Link is another! And suppose you haven't got a Resource tool in your site? Attach a file makes instant sense, I think. Like the idea of the buttons Outcome of discussion.........
Buttons Bold Italic Drop Down for headdings Table Link Image Link opens up attachement page same as announcements add attachement page with upload, select and external Image opens up attachement page without enternal link box (if possible) Add Subscript and Superscript buttons from FCKeditor.

This isnt a change to the markup, its a change to the Help Page on the editing and the toolbar at the top of the edit box ?
Is that correct ?
