    Clicking on the Markdown+Itex Help button opens a new window with an HTTP 404 message.

    To produce a clickable link with the markdown+Itex formatting type

      [link text](url)

    For the ease of other readers, here is the link you provided:

    Formal Modelling and Application of Graph Transformations in the Resource Description Framework

    (Apologies for not having anything of value to say about the actual content behind your link. Others here may have something to say, though.)

    Thanks for the help Urs. I fixed the original link. Still someone should be told that the markup help link returns a 404.

    That someone would be Andrew Stacey, who set up the nForum. He is or has been moving positions, and in the course of this some non-relative links from the nForum broke, we had this issue elsewhere already. If I remember well then he is aware of it and said he’d fix it once he finds time.

    I changed the content of this thread, as it ended up being mostly about this bug in the wiki. I don’t know how to contact Andrew Stacey. I guess some people here will know.

    I noted this back in July: Help link is broken for the nForum.

    Andrew replied that he would fix but it hasn’t happened yet.

    Fixed now.

    (I didn’t consider this a major issue since search item number three is helpfully labelled “Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation which contains full instructions on how to create link texts.)
