I want to know the sintaxe to make a interwiki link to http://infosoc.wikidot.com/o-que-e-software-livre
I'd tried
name
name

and finally i done a url link. in both situations, the "name" is correctly displayed, but is not a link.
sorry for the bad english, but i am brazillian.

Interwiki links work only for wikipedia…

Why not use:

[http://infosoc.wikidot.com/o-que-e-software-livre myname] 

or  to open in a new window: 
[* http://infosoc.wikidot.com/o-que-e-software-livre myname]

in Action ( opening in a new window:

myname

? ?
found in the wiki syntax:

[*http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc15 URL]

in Action:
URL

---

Service is my success. My webtips:www.blender.org (Open source), Wikidot-Handbook.

I am using the proposed solution, but as I posted elsewhere I think that Wikidot should support the full Interwiki concept (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interwiki).

I just think the syntax should be simpler, for example, [wikipedia:Albert_Einstein] to link to the main English entry and [dewikipedia:Albert_Einstein] or [de.wikipedia:Albert_Einstein] for the German one — in this case language would be denoted by prefixing with the ISO standard two letter code.

I agree with keeping english as Internet's lingua franca, but I also think that provisions should be made for localization from the outset, and this is one of the few aspects I find lacking about Wikidot.
