    Can you hyperlink in Notepad?

    Guys,

    I'm wondering if the following two examples will show up as hyperlinks (showing text only, not address or code) in a .txt file in Notepad:

    <a href="http://www.ofpec.com/index.php">OFPEC</a>

    <a href="http://www.armaholic.com/index.php">Armaholic</a>

    I'm giving the specific examples because I'm not knowledeable in .html and any correction, if neccessary, of the syntax would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    No. Not in a txt file.

    It depends on the application that you use. Many simple txt applications (Notepad like) are programed to recognize a the http:// and show it as a link.

    This Free one does, http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html
