How to include hyperlinks in PF posts

Summary:: How to include hyperlinks in PF posts

I was wondering how to create hyperlinks in my PF posts.

I tried [Fourier inversion theorem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_inversion_theorem) (which works in Stack Exchange sites) and \href{URL}{DESCRIPTION} (which works in LATEX after including certain packages) but didn't succeed.

Thank you.

Oops

Or using BBCode explicitly, [url]http://whatever[/url] or [url=http://whatever]link text[/url].

Or using BBCode explicitly, [url]http://whatever[/url] or [url=http://whatever]link text[/url].

Please note that @Ibix wraps [color=black][/color] tags around the left bracket of an opening tag to get the tag rendered as plain text instead of acted upon as a bbcode tag. You can see this if you hit the 'reply' button and then click on the 'toggle bbcode' gear icon. You can do this with any part of the tag; not just the opening bracket, like this: [code] $\cdots$ [/code]

We also have the [plain] tag which makes things easier:

The code [plain][url=http://whatever]link text[/url][/plain] becomes [url=http://whatever]link text[/url]

How did I make the tag appear in the post? I wrote it as [pla[plain][/plain]in]. How did I make that appear... no, the next step should be clear.
