This has annoyed me several times.... When I try to create more than one hotlink within a post, they somehow merge. Here's one I tried posting earlier. I won't use quotes to avoid further confusing things.


***************************************
The aforementioned Cecil articles:

Is it illegal to take a newborn home from the hospital without naming it first?

Naming babies before (and after) they leave the hospital (cont'd)
***************************************


Here's what it actually looks like, so you won't have to hit "reply" to figure it out. I've substituted V's for U's.

What am I doing wrong here?

The url itself must be enclosed in the double quotes. A link should be coded like this: [url="http://www.straightdope.com"]the Straight Dope[/url]

which winds up looking like this: the Straight Dope
