AI Thread Summary
To substitute words for a hyperlink, the correct format is to use HTML anchor tags, such as <a href="https://www.google.com">See here</a>. Users can also utilize the "insert link" feature in the editing menu for easier linking. The provided code example using [URL] tags demonstrates an alternative method, but it may not display correctly in all contexts. Quotation marks are not necessary for the text substitution; simply using "See here" is sufficient. Proper formatting ensures that the link is functional and visually appealing.

<a href="https://www.google.com">See here</a>

For example: I want to substitute words for the underlying link.
Thanks.

Produces:

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
