Long links don't cut and paste very well
Some of those aviation links I posted below were several lines long. A simple cut-n-paste job doesn't work very well in those cases. It's very easy to embed a live link in your posts.
Substitute a less than ("<" sign for the left square brackets "[" below and a greater than sign ">" for the right square brackets.
Just add [a href= in front of your link. You can cut-n-paste it in.
Next, add a ] after your bracket. You can then type in a title, followed by [/a]
