The default link uses the standard Georgia Tech link blue.
Variant styles are not rendered while editing the article or in the agent portal. View your article in the Service Portal for an accurate depiction of your content.
A link variant features bold black text and a thick underline in Buzz Gold.
Don’t include preceding articles (a, an, the, our) when you link text. For example:
Yes: Read the automation guide for details.
No: Read the automation guide for details.
If a link comes at the end of a sentence or before a comma, don’t link the punctuation mark.
Yes: Reference the visual guide.
No: Reference the visual guide.
Don’t say things like “Click here!” or “Click for more information” or “Read this.” Write the sentence as you normally would, and link relevant keywords.
Yes: For help, you can submit a request.
No: For help, you can submit a request here.
If your link takes the reader to an external site (away from the GT Services site), don't open the site in the same browser tab. Configure the link to open the site in a new browser tab by using the "edit link" tool in your editor. Select the "Target" dropdown menu and select between "None" and "New Window".
If using the "New Window" option, type "(opens in a new tab)" next to your link text. This assists users with screen readers and informs them if a link will open in a new tab.
None (implicit): the link will open in the existing window or tab
New Window (_blank): the link will open in a new tab
Same Frame (_self): same as "None"
Top Frame (_top): ignore as Frames are deprecated in HTML5
Other (custom frame): ignore as Frames are deprecated in HTML5
