    80107TracLinks are a very simple idea, but actually allow quite a complex network of information. In practice, it's very intuitive and simple to use, and we've found the "link trail" extremely helpful to better understand what's happening in a project or why a particular change was made.
    … …  
    87114To create a link to a specific anchor in a page, use '#':
    88115{{{
    89  [#Relativelinks relative links]
     116 [#Relativelinks relative links] or [[#Relativelinks|relative links]]
    90117}}}
    91118Displays:
    92   [#Relativelinks relative links]
     119  [#Relativelinks relative links] or [[#Relativelinks|relative links]]
    93120
    94121Hint: when you move your mouse over the title of a section, a '¶' character will be displayed. This is a link to that specific section and you can use this to copy the `#...` part inside a relative link to an anchor.
    … …  
    101128To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a parent, simply use a '..':
    102129{{{
    103   [..]
    104 }}}
    105 
    106 To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a sibling page, use a '../':
    107 {{{
    108   [../Sibling see next sibling]
    109 }}}
    110 
    111 ''(Changed in 0.11)'' Note that in Trac 0.10, using e.g. `[../newticket]`  may have worked for linking to the /newticket top-level URL, but now in 0.11 it will stay in the wiki namespace and link to a sibling page. See [#Server-relativelinks] for the new syntax.
     130  [..] or [[..]]
     131}}}
     132  [..] or [[..]]
     133
     134To link from a [trac:SubWiki SubWiki] page to a [=#sibling sibling] page, use a '../':
     135{{{
     136  [../Sibling see next sibling] or [[../Sibling|see next sibling]]
     137}}}
     138  [../Sibling see next sibling] or [[../Sibling|see next sibling]]
     139
     140But in practice you often won't need to add the `../` prefix to link to a sibling page.
     141For resolving the location of a wiki link, it's the target page closest in the hierarchy
     142to the page where the link is written which will be selected. So for example, within
     143a sub-hierarchy, a sibling page will be targeted in preference to a toplevel page.
     144This makes it easy to copy or move pages to a sub-hierarchy by [[WikiNewPage#renaming|renaming]] without having to adapt the links.
     145
     146In order to link explicitly to a [=#toplevel toplevel] Wiki page,
     147use the `wiki:/` prefix.
     148Be careful **not** to use the `/` prefix alone, as this corresponds to the
     149[#Server-relativelinks] syntax and with such a link you will lack the `/wiki/`
     150part in the resulting URL.
     151
     152''(Changed in 0.11)'' Note that in Trac 0.10, using e.g. `[../newticket]`  may have worked for linking to the `/newticket` top-level URL, but since 0.11, such a link will stay in the wiki namespace and therefore link to a sibling page.
     153See [#Server-relativelinks] for the new syntax.

    113155=== InterWiki links ===
    … …  
    119161This can be seen as a kind of InterWiki link specialized for targeting other Trac projects.
    120162
    121 Any type of Trac links could be written in one Trac environment and actually refer to resources present in another Trac environment, provided the Trac link is prefixed by the name of that other Trac environment followed by a colon. That other Trac environment must be registered, under its name or an alias. See InterTrac for details.
    122 
    123 A distinctive advantage of InterTrac links over InterWiki links is that the shorthand form of Trac links usually have a way to understand the InterTrac prefixes. For example, links to Trac tickets can be written #T234 (if T was set as an alias for Trac), links to Trac changesets can be written [trac 1508].
     163Any type of Trac link can be written in one Trac environment and actually refer to resources in another Trac environment. All that is required is to prefix the Trac link with the name of the other Trac environment followed by a colon. The other Trac environment must be registered on the InterTrac page.
     164
     165A distinctive advantage of InterTrac links over InterWiki links is that the shorthand form of Trac links (e.g. `{}`, `r`, `#`) can also be used. For example if T was set as an alias for Trac, links to Trac tickets can be written #T234, links to Trac changesets can be written [trac 1508].
     166See InterTrac for the complete details.

    157201 * !attachment:"the file.txt:ticket:123"
    158202
     203Note that by using [trac:WikiCreole] style links, it's quite natural to write links containing spaces:

     205 * ![[attachment:the file.txt]]

    174 The Trac links target Trac resources which have generally more than one way to be rendered, according to some extra parameters. For example, a Wiki page can accept a `version` or a `format` parameter, a report can make use of dynamic variables, etc.
    175 
    176 Any Trac links can support an arbitrary set of parameters, written in the same way as they would be for the corresponding URL. Some examples:
