{url=www.google.com}Google{/url}
replace {} with [] if its not obvious for you.

If you paid attemtion you wouldn't have missed this:

Code: Select all

Insert URL: [url]http://url[/url] or [url=http://url]URL text[/url]  (alt+w)

Just as a side-note - I know it's not directly related to the question, but I also use TinyURL to make really long URIs into nice short ones.

you may also try playing with CTRL+K using your pc keyboard.

for example:

click here

high light the "here" word, then press and hold the CTRL key on your keyboard then simultaneously press the K key. Then on the space provided, put in the URL, then hit enter.
