I'd like the ability to use a shortcut, but declare an explicit link text
|
|
|
|
|
rather than using the link text defined on [[/shortcuts]]. For example, if I
|
|
|
|
|
create a shortcut `protogit` pointing to files in the xcb/proto.git gitweb
|
|
|
|
|
repository, I don't always want to use the path to the file as the link text;
|
|
|
|
|
I would like to src/xcb.xsd, but use the link text "XML Schema for the X
|
|
|
|
|
Window System protocol". --[[JoshTriplett]]

|
|
> [XML Schema for the X Window System protocol](src/xcb.xsd)
