How do you do that?  
I’ve copied and pasted a URL to use as a cite in a posting, and naturally the entire web page address is in my post, and it is clickable so the reader can get to the site. How do you Dopers hide the URL under another word? How you do dat?😕

You can also embed links inside smilies, like so…

[:wally](http://www.thereverend.com/brick_testament)  
[:smack:](http://www.matthewgood.net)[:dubious:](http://www.regards.com)

Just replace the link words with a smiley… easy, don’t you think? 😃

Oh, and I’m just taking each smiley in the order it appears in the list… they don’t reflect the feeling I have about each individual site listed.
