Editing the URL for a link
If you are familiar with creating links in HTML, you can use Contribute to edit a link's URL.
When you link to a web page on a website, the link's URL appears in the Web Address (URL) text
box and in the HREF text box in the Advanced section of the Insert Link dialog box. Use this
HREF text box to alter the URL that Contribute places in the page's HTML.
Note: If the page is new, you'll see (new) appended to the end of the URL. Contribute removes (new)
when you publish the new page.
The Web Address (URL) text box always shows the full URL, and the HREF text box shows the
URL that's written in the page's HTML. The HREF might be a different, usually shorter,
version of the URL.
To edit a link's URL:
