URLs should be displayed for sure, but inline is far too disruptive to smooth reading. I think it would be better done "reference style" if possible. Something similar to how it is done in markdown would be nice:
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][1] than from
[Yahoo][2] or [MSN][3].
[1]: http://google.com/ http://google.com/ "Google"
[2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
[3]: http://search.msn.com/ http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
- alok-g 12y agoIt can also be simplified to "I get 10 times more traffic from Google[1] than from Yahoo[2] or MSN[3]." Note that I removed the square brackets from the URL text. While this is information-lossy, the context of the link is nearly always clear from the text.
- russellsprouts 12y agoCSS3 has support for footnotes in the page module. http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-gcpm-20111129/#footnotes http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-gcpm-20111129/#footnotes It adds a float: footnote; property. From reading that page, I believe this might work, once browser support catches up. a::after { float: footnote; content: attr(href) ' "' attr(title) '"'; } There are some other interesting additions: title { display: none; string-set: title content(); } @page { @top-left { content: string(title) }} This will put the page title in the top left corner of the page margins.
