instiki question

[Joe Van Dyk]

I've got a document on a network drive that I want to share on our
internal wiki. How can I link to that document?

The document is at something like \\shared_drive\directory\another
directory\note the spaces in the directory\my_document.doc

I've tried "link name":\\shared_drive\directory\another directory\note
the spaces in the directory\my_document.doc

But that fails miserably as you could probably guess.

It's a textile issue, not Instiki. As far I know you can't do it this
way in textile, but you can fall back on HTML:
<a href="file://shared_drive/directory/another directory/note the
spaces in the directory/my_document.doc">link name</a>

This will work via MSIE but not with Firefox (which is a point in
favour of firefox, it not being a great gaping hole into your
network).

That's too bad about Firefox actually... it would be nice to be able
to create links to shared drives in our web pages.
