Re: formatting - internal links versus external links

[Haim Roman <haim -dot- roman -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Mediawiki & Dokuwiki distinguish these links automatically.  Of course
that's because in the wikitext it's clear which links are internal & which
are external.  In dokuwiki:

   - external links start with http://... (or https://...).  They're shown
   in blue, preceded by the globe.
   - internal links don't have the http:// in front.  They're shown as
   green.

It's been a while since I've worked with Mediawiki.  And I've worked very,
very little with Sharepoint wiki.  But maybe it acts similarly.
